Overview of The Village Green at 311 East 11th Street

The Village Green at 311 East 11th Street stands as the first LEED Gold certified residential building in the East Village, representing a pioneering approach to sustainable luxury living in Manhattan. This 8-story boutique condominium contains just 36 apartments, including six penthouses and four garden duplexes with private backyards. Designed by acclaimed architect Stephen B. Jacobs with interiors by Andi Pepper, the building was developed through a partnership between Michael Namer, Izak Namer, Gary Spindler, and Roy Schoenberg, who transformed a former parking garage site between Second and First Avenues into this environmentally conscious residential project.

The building's commitment to sustainability extends far beyond its LEED Gold certification. Village Green features an advanced Daikin central heating and air conditioning system powered entirely by electricity with variable speed motors, plus geothermal heating and cooling throughout the lobby and common areas. Additional green features include rainwater collection systems for garden irrigation, a planted green roof, and energy efficient infrastructure that keeps heating and cooling costs included in common charges for residents. The building's environmental focus eliminates the need for a traditional boiler room, with the wellness center occupying the basement space instead.

Apartments showcase premium finishes throughout, including 4 inch wide FSC certified white oak floors, floor-to-ceiling double insulated windows, and high end kitchen packages featuring Liebherr refrigerators, Bosch appliances, white quartzite countertops, and Euromobil Italia cabinetry. Bathrooms are appointed with Persian green marble countertops, glass tiled walls, and Zuma tubs and showers. The garden duplexes offer particularly unique living experiences with private outdoor spaces ranging from 510 to 745 square feet, while penthouses feature private terraces and open city views. Many units include in-unit washers and dryers, and several feature private balconies with northern or southern exposures.

Residents enjoy full service amenities including a 24 hour attended lobby and a comprehensive wellness center featuring a gym, sauna, massage and treatment room, and residents' lounge with billiards table. The building provides bicycle storage, additional storage options, and a stunning roof deck for entertaining. A 421-A tax abatement remains in effect, and the pet friendly building offers the rare combination of environmental responsibility and luxury living in one of downtown Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods, with easy access to Union Square, Tompkins Square Park, and seven subway lines.
