311 E 11: Village Green-The perfect fusion of modern elegance and 21st century technology

311 E 11: Village Green serves as a template for the way to develop sustainable and healthy properties in the future. Michael and Izak Namer created 311 E 11: Village Green with one goal in mind-to define environmentally responsible 21st century living. Conscious of a change in the way we think about the environment and a shift towards more responsible living, the Namers have designed the building with a combination of sustainable and renewable materials and an innovative philosophy. The result is a premier collection of residences that are distinctive, yet contextual to the neighborhood. Targeted to be the first LEED-Gold certified building in the East Village, 311 E 11: Village Green raises the bar for elegant solutions to serious environmental issues. "In these times, we are making sure that environmental issues don't have to take a backseat to financial concerns," said developer Michael Namer. "At 311 East 11th St. a little green can go a long way." 311 E 11: Village Green has been designed with sustainable approaches to energy efficiency at every turn. The Namers are supporting wind power to generate sustainable and renewable electricity and are installing water-conserving fixtures throughout. A green roof will be installed to provide natural insulation and to reduce the "heat island effect," and special drains will recover rainwater to reduce potable water required to irrigate gardens in the building. Additional responsible and eco-friendly features include extremely energy efficient Energy Star appliances (some made of 100% recyclable materials), and low emission paints, sealants, coolants, and coatings, built-in recycling centers, lighting controls to reduce energy consumption in common areas during off-peak hours, and biothermal A/C and heating for the lobby and wellness center. Other features include energy efficient insulation and sealants, bicycle storage, and discount parking for hybrid vehicles at a nearby parking garage. True to its holistic philosophy, the building will have a Wellness Center to provide a healthy way to live by allowing residents to exercise in a fully-equipped gym, relax in the spa that features a sauna and a private massage room or simply meet friends, play pool, or use the Wi-Fi to surf the web in the beautifully appointed lounge. The spacious one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and penthouse homes, ranging from approximately 730 s/f to 2,000 s/f, have been designed to appeal to educated consumers of an environmentally-conscious mind. Floor-to-ceiling, double insulated windows create an open, light-filled space and FSC-certified, sustainable 4 inch-wide white oak wood floors heighten the airy effect. The Namers designed this collection of homes with many fresh air options. Each of the four garden duplexes features an expansive backyard, and the triplex penthouse is highlighted by a 2,000 s/f terrace. Located between Veselka and Veniero's, 311 E 11: Village Green is located in the East Village. Shaded by trees, and surrounded by parks, organic stores, eateries, and farmers markets, the neighborhood provides a perfect location for eco-responsible living.
