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. Developed by The Albanese Organization and designed by Rafael Pelli of Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the building is 40 percent more energy efficient than standard building code requires. 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.

Apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, cherry wood kitchen cabinetry with granite counters, EnergyStar refrigerators, Bosch washers and dryers, beech plank floors, and custom solar shades in living rooms. 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. Located at the northern end of Battery Park City adjacent to the 2 acre Tear Drop Park, The Verdesian is near multiple parks, playgrounds, ball fields, Asphalt Green, a library, Whole Foods Market, and Brookfield Place, with convenient access to the A, C, E, 1, 2, 3, and R subway lines as well as the ferry.

Broker & Resident Comments

Add Your Own Comment

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.

Managed by The Albanese Organization

Founded in 1949 and based in Garden City, New York, The Albanese Organization is a privately held, full-service real estate developer with a diverse portfolio of commercial and residential projects. For more than 75 years it has specialized in creating high-rise rental communities in the New York metropolitan area. Its Manhattan properties span prominent neighborhoods like Battery Park City, Chelsea and the Flatiron District, and feature modern doorman service with amenities such as gyms, landscaped roof terraces and attended parking to enhance urban living.

Beyond apartments, Albanese embraces large mixed-use and community-focused developments, including partnerships on affordable housing initiatives in the New York region. For example, The Verdesian at 211 North End Avenue in Battery Park City exemplifies the firm's green vision: it was the first U.S. residential high-rise to earn LEED Platinum certification, and it features energy-saving systems and a landscaped rooftop garden. The company emphasizes design quality and environmental responsibility, aiming to enhance each neighborhood. Its decades of family-led experience give renters confidence in the well-built, amenity-rich urban homes it provides.
