A new rendering for Manhattan's first certified passive house condominium has surfaced, giving us a proper look at what to expect from this long-awaited development. Developer Urban Artisan filed permits back in 2014 for a seemingly simple 6-story, 6-unit building at 11 West 126th Street in Harlem, then construction started two years later, and now, mid-way into 2018, it looks like the energy-efficient building is finally nearing completion. Check out the construction progress below.

PBDW Architects, known for designing the first LEED certified school in New York City, are behind the simple yet attractive design. The Bluestone Organization was tapped for construction management, sgBUILD for Passive House consulting, and BuildForward for financing.

To recap, the project will contain six full-floor units and amenities will include tenant storage, a laundry room, recreation room, fitness center, and a private roof terrace for the 6th-floor apartment. An offering plan (not yet approved) filed with the New York State Attorney General's office shows a projected sellout of $8.67M, meaning residences will fetch around $1.44M each. For reference, the median price of condos in Harlem currently stands at $1.25M.

As we've previously reported, Passive House principles are focused on insulation, air filtration, and ventilation. The goal of this airtight building is to consume less energy for heating and cooling and ultimately reduce its ecological footprint, resulting in cheaper utility bills and a cool, comfortable temperature year-round.

An updated expected completion date has not been announced.
