Being the only glass-faced structure in a neighborhood of tans and beige is not the only thing that separates One Jackson Square from the rest of the buildings around this part of Greenwich Village. This building is also the first LEED-certified and environmentally friendly residential building in the area. In order to achieve LEED certification, a development must show above-average consideration of energy efficiency and an offensive approach to indoor air quality and the use of renewable materials.

One Jackson Square is comprised of 35 private residences spread over eleven stories of uniquely constructed, concave design. Each unit contains a fan coil heating and cooling system to lower energy costs and provide reliable and comfortable heating and cooling. Windows span from floor to ceiling, offering panoramic views of the midtown skyline and Jackson Square. And with 10-foot ceilings, the view is breathtaking. Inside the unit, things are just as light and airy as the outdoors. The neutral decor and atmosphere allows each resident to add that “special” touch that really makes a home a home, whether this touch includes paintings, furniture or basic design changes. Duplexes offer double-height ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a classy, outdoor terrace to an already open atmosphere.

Among the many amenities offered by One Jackson Square is a 24-hour concierge service, so residents can get some of those tasks done that always seem to stay one step ahead of them. Valet parking is also available for a small charge. Of course, with a fitness room available, residents might choose to go the healthy route and walk to where they need to go. This isn’t such a stretch, since a spa treatment room awaits those who feel deserving after a long, hard workout.

No home is truly a home without taking into consideration the neighbors; One Jackson Square is located near Greenwich Village, which is still considered the pervasive center of the city’s best artistic folk. Feeling quite like modern suburbia, this area is full to the brim with specialty and designer shops of all varieties. And with The Whitney Museum of American Art under construction just down the road, a new generation of artists has the same chance to make a difference in the area.
