Press Release Body: Eco-friendly apartments in the heart of New York


Located in the very heart of New York City, Tribeca Townhomes have been designed to
combine contemporary urban design with environmental sustainability and eco-friendly
living.

Paying homage to Lower Manhattan’s industrial past, the 6 one-, two- and
three-bedroom properties are completed and have been constructed using traditional
design elements such as limestone and architectural iron design.

The building has been developed by A2 Investment Group, a husband and wife led
company with 20 years experience in New York and Philadelphia.

Andrew Hawkins, Associate – Head of International at Chesterton, says, “The Big
Apple has long been an attractive holiday destination for Brits. As well as being a
business hub, the bustling nightlife, great sights fantastic shopping and huge range
of restaurants makes it a great place to visit.

”New York is traditionally not seen as a particularly eco-friendly location but
Tribeca Townhomes hopes to embrace as many green aspects and sustainable practices
as possible.”

“Tribeca Townhomes is our first instruction in New York City as it presents a great
opportunity to own an eco-friendly home, by a developer with a superb track record,
in this vibrant city.”

The construction process has been carried out as sustainably as possible with most
materials sourced locally and demolition and construction materials recycled or
reused whenever feasible. Building materials and paints have been specifically
chosen to reduce the emission of harmful, noxious gasses.

Marrying historic Tribeca with contemporary urban life, the new glass and steel
façade provides residents with sun-filled homes.

Solar panels on the roof provide supplemental hot water to each apartment, reducing
energy use and lowering costs. The installation of energy efficient air heating and
cooling system also reduces the need for excess temperature control. Emergency exit
stairs are fitted with motion sensitive lights for reduced electricity consumption.

The entire development employs a zero-waste programme with energy-star rated
appliances in every apartment. A programme is in place for the recycling of
non-biological waste, including tins, bottles and paper.

Sustainable transport within the city is encouraged and a bicycle storage unit is
provided. The development is within half a block of ten subway lines, giving
residents many options for travel within the city.

Properties for sale include five duplex apartments and one penthouse. Freehold
prices range from £752,807 (US$1,342,000) to £4,280,175 (US$7,628,000).
