Event Details

Join GreenHomeNYC Saturday, July 23rd as we tour one of New York's newest, greenest multifamily buildings! 


Blue Sea Development has recently completed a multifamily affordable co-op in the Bronx using some of the latest in sustainable and energy efficient design.  The Melody, as the building is named, is comprised of 63 affordable one, two and three bedroom cooperative apartments with a fully equipped fitness center and outdoor fitness path.  It is the first residential building in New York to comply with the NYC Active Design Guidelines, promoting physical activity and health through building design.


The Melody is Energy Star labeled under NYSERDA's Multifamily Performance Program and certified LEED Platinum under the USGBC's LEED for Homes program.
Some features include:
  • High efficiency condensing gas boilers
  • Combined Heat and Power co-generation units
  • Eco-space elevator
Long-time green developer Les Bluestone will personally guide the tour. It will be a fantastic opportunity to learn about the latest sustainable building practices here in NYC as well as a good chance to hear first-hand about the development process from one of the best in the biz.
