Overview of The Visionaire at 70 Little West Street

Completed in 2008, The Visionaire at 70 Little West Street is New York City's first LEED Platinum certified residential building, representing a landmark achievement in sustainable luxury living. This striking 33 story condominium, designed by renowned architect Pelli Clarke Pelli, features a distinctive curved façade with red terracotta horizontal bands and houses 251 units in Battery Park City. The building was developed by The Albanese Organization and Starwood Capital Group Global, and notably won the prestigious 2010 Award of Excellence from the Urban Land Institute, making it the only New York City building to receive this honor that year.

Residences at The Visionaire showcase exceptional attention to both luxury and environmental responsibility, with apartments featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, sustainably harvested hardwood flooring, and open kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf appliances, and custom bamboo cabinetry with river-washed black granite countertops. Units range from studios to sprawling three bedroom apartments, many with dramatic curved walls facing the Hudson River and soaring 10 to 11+ foot ceilings. Notable layouts include the largest two bedroom unit (4G at 1,490 square feet) and spectacular corner units with wrap around windows offering views of the Freedom Tower, Hudson River, and Statue of Liberty. Master bathrooms feature limestone floors and countertops with Waterworks deep soaking tubs, while all units include in-unit washers and dryers.

The building's comprehensive amenity package includes a 24 hour doorman and concierge, a sky-lit indoor swimming pool with hot tub, state-of-the-art fitness center with spa services, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with built-in Wolf grills and wet bar overlooking the Hudson River. Additional amenities encompass a residents lounge with fireplace and pool table, screening room, children's playroom, bicycle storage, valet parking garage, and a striking 12 foot tropical aquarium in the lobby. The building's green features include fresh air filtration systems, centrally filtered water, solar panels, and rainwater harvesting, while residents benefit from significantly lower energy bills. Opera singer Michael Fabiano has been among the building's notable residents, adding to its cultural cachet in this waterfront oasis steps from parks, fine dining, and major transportation hubs.
