The Real Deal New York

Construction financing for the
Nzinga Townhomes in Bedford-Stuyvesant is moving forward, and developer
Yolande Nicholson hopes to break ground on the green project in early
2009. The townhouses, designed by Garrison Architects, are each 2,900
square feet, with 2,000 square feet of living space for owners and an
additional 900 square feet of separate, rentable apartment space. The
units have Energy Star appliances and energy-efficient heating and
cooling systems. Adding to the project’s green image, the homes will have an exterior
living green wall, irrigated by a building-integrated graywater system.
