BOA Tower

Although having lived in NYC until the end of 2005, there is one building that just recently has caught my attention: The Bank of America building.

It is budgeted at $1 billion and should be completed by 2008. Now, why would I take some of my valuable time to post something on this building? The Bank of America tower is part of green design in architecture, meaning that standards set by the so called Green Building Council are followed.

The BOA tower will serve Manhattan as a gigantic air filter. It wil suck in the dirty air from the city, clean it and send it back out cleaner.

Other Green Towers in New York City are
- The newly completed HEARST TOWER close to the Time Warner Building on the south west corner of CP
- The FREEDOM TOWERS, which are now finally in construction
- The NEW YORK TIMES Building
- GOLDMAN SACHS' New World Headquarters, which will combine the employees of 10 now existiing buildings
- Memorial SLOAN-KETTERING Cancer Center
- The VERDESIAN
- Tribeca Green
- One River Terrace
- The MOSAIC
- 7 WTC
- W 31st Street
- MILLENIUM Tower (Residences)
- The HELENA
- The SOLAIRE
