Description:

One Crescent Drive is a four-story Class A office building designed by world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern and was the first developer / investor owned LEED-CS Platinum building in the world. During construction, material and process selection reduced waste and transportation emissions while simultaneously improving efficiency by using over 40% of materials from local suppliers. Air pollution was reduced 40% by using recycled concrete, over 30% of the total construction material consisted of recycled content, and 95% of the total construction waste was recycled. Abundant natural light percolates throughout the building as a result of the large daylit atrium, the strategically placed glass curtain wall, and the expansive window system, which reduce energy consumption and provide an engaging environment that increases comfort and productivity. In order to maintain these internal conditions, a green housekeeping program maximizes excellent indoor air quality. Its ultra efficient heating and cooling systems use 50% less energy than a typical office building of this size. An adjacent park with wireless offers internet access, a putting green, and walking paths while bicycle storage areas and changing rooms encourage alternative commuting to using cars.
