Architectural Renderings House-Remarkable One Bryant Park The World’s Greenest Skyscraper

One Bryant Park, the world’s greenest skyscraper has been opened last year in midtown Manhattan to rave reviews celebrating the innovative design. And now, This green tower achieved LEED Platinum certification.

That makes this world’s first office tower to reach the USGBC’s highest rating. Designed by Cook+Fox Architects and built by Tishman Construction Corporation, the building has set a historic precedent for sustainable tower design by being the largest of any skyscraper to reach LEED Platinum.

As the second tallest building in Manhattan, One Bryant Park is unforgettable and never too distant from any New Yorker’s peripheral view. Now that the skyscraper has been filled with occupants, we couldn’t think of a better time to take some photos of the tower than in the incredible light of the summer sun.


Housing for the new headquarters of the financial giant Bank of America, the green features implemented in this design quickly allowed it to rack up all the points it needed to garner its LEED Platinum rating.

This building using a system for rainwater catchement and reuse, greywater recycling, energy efficient building systems, and high performance glass which maximizes day-lighting and minimizes solar heat gain and loss. The system also perfectly compliments an incredible cooling system that produces and stores ice during off-peak hours, and then uses the ice phase transition to help cool the building during peak load.

Another remarkable innovation is the air purification system. Its not only that the air entering the building purified to a high standard, but also the air exhausted is also cleaned, effectively making the tower a giant air filter for Midtown Manhattan. With an area of over 2 million square feet, this level of green technology in one building is nothing short of remarkable. The tower itself was constructed using a concrete manufactured with slag. The mixture is a concoction of 55% cement and 45% slag, where the use of slag cement minimized any residual damage to the environment by decreasing the amount of cement needed and in turn lowering the amount of carbon dioxide output.
