The Upper East Side of Manhattan has something for everyone., including recreation, shopping, dining, and plenty of places to find a home.The 21-story Lucida is one of those places that once visited, is impossible to forget. It is
the Upper East’s first LEED-certified “green” building. It has a sustainable design, including the following features:
 |
- Landscaping irrigated only by rainwater, which severely limits the amount of processed water use.
- Energy efficient design for low energy consumption, which means less carbon dioxide emissions
- Maintenance of indoor air quality; outside air is filtered into the rooms,
and indoor pollutants avoided.
- Increased natural lighting through the use of a glass skin
- Use of renewable materials like bamboo, cork and palm wood in construction
- Use of natural vegetable dyed carpet for carpeted areas

The Lucida is dedicated to minimizing the building’s impact on the environment. But even more importantly, it is dedicated to keeping its residents healthy and environmentally aware. La Palestra’s fitness and wellness center boasts sky lit indoor pools and a fireplace. Personal trainers complement the state-of-the-art exercise equipment. And so, residents can exercise in peace, an in ground playground designed by Kidville, NY keeps the little ones (and the young at heart) busy. Just as the outside of The Lucida sends a unique message to the world, individual rooms have a class all their own.Glass design illuminates the interiors; solid oak floors keep each two to fiv e bedroom condominium efficient in its own way. A spacious ten-foot ceiling, along with expansive windows, makes the outdoors seem closer. And a cast iron soaking tub and nickel silver rain shower work with a bamboo, maple and marble vanity to truly bring the efficiency of nature indoors.
Theamenities of The Lucida finally bring it home for any resident. An outdoor environment is encouraged with private terraces, balconies and rooftop gardens. A 24-hour door attendant allows for late night strolls, and a ten-foot fireplace in the lobby brings natural warmth to the urban setting. A private wine cellar brings residents back to ancient times, while a bicycle storage room encourages car-free transportation. [ Contact us ] |
