BUILDING GREEN

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

We're bringing Coney Island to 3rd and Court


One element of building green is using, whenever possible, reclaimed materials from older buildings or other uses.   For a while now, we've been looking for JUST the right wood to use as the treads on the main staircase of the building.  And the team has looked at a lot of wood.  Partly, we were looking for the right wood, partly for the right story.   

Well, we found both.  The wood for the treads on our main staircase will be reclaimed from the old boardwalk at Coney Island in New York City.   How cool is that?
