Marketing has started for The Village Green, an 8-story residential condominium building at 311 East 11th Street in the East Village.

The building has 36 apartments of which six are penthouses and four are garden duplexes with backyards.

It is notable for being an LEED Gold certified project.

The building has a Daikin central heating and air-conditioning system that is powered by electricity with variable speed motors and geothermal heating and cooling of the lobby and common areas as well as rainwater collection for garden irrigation systems, and a planted green roof.

Stephen B. Jacobs is the architect.

Michael Namer and his brother, Izak Namer, partnered with Gary Spindler and Roy Schoenberg, the owners of the parking garage that formerly occupied the site in the development of this project, which is between Second and First Avenues.

The building has balconies, 4-inch wide white oak floors, Liebherr refrigerators and Bosch stoves and cooktops, dishwashers and washers and dryers. Kitchen countertops are white quartzite and kitchen cabinetry is from Euromobil Italia. Baths have Persian green marble countertops and Zuma tubs and showers.

The building has a large entrance marquee, a large lobby, bicycle storage, floor-to-ceiling double-insulated windows, and a "wellness center" in the basement where there is no boiler room. The building's motto is "live better in every sense." Andi Pepper is the interior designer for the project.
