Overview of The Verdesian at 211 North End Avenue

The Verdesian is a 27 story, 252 unit rental building in Battery Park City that opened in 2006 as the first residential high rise in the United States to receive Platinum LEED certification.

Its green features include central air filtration that removes 85 percent of particulates, digital programmable thermostats, EnergyStar appliances, high efficiency lighting fixtures, highly insulated windows, and a centrally filtered water system. A natural gas fired microturbine and cooling system contributes to 48 percent lower peak electric demand.

Bathrooms have marble and limestone finishes with brushed chrome faucets and pedestal sinks. Many units offer river and water views, and some include dining alcoves. All units have in-unit washers and dryers.

The building offers a 24 hour concierge, fitness center, landscaped roof garden, children's playroom, maid and valet services, bicycle storage, and a 24 hour garage. Pets are permitted.

Broker & Resident Comments

This "green" high-rise offers "breathtaking Hudson River views" through "floor-to-ceiling windows" in a "quiet" Battery Park City setting that's "great for families." While the "immaculately maintained" building boasts an "excellent location" near Whole Foods and Shake Shack, residents note the "dated finishes" and "quirky" sound transmission between units. The "professional" staff and "exceptional" maintenance team help create a "sense of community," though some find the neighborhood "isolated" from Manhattan proper. "Modern" apartments feature "decent sizes" and "river views," making this an "eco-conscious" choice for those prioritizing waterfront living.
