Transparency, knowledge and strategic green collaboration is the key in all green real estate transactions. Up until the late 1990’s many of these condos were constructed with an outdoor Terrance or balcony, due to a loophole in the local building code many of these owners constructed “temporary”greenhouses or sunrooms. There never was any intent to put plants in these “temporary” sunrooms. The whole idea was to increase the livable area which was not included in the floor area ratio (FAR)calculation. All of these green condos with enclosed sunrooms now sell at a premium price as these sunrooms now offer more livable area, and beautiful scenic views of the city.

New York city is responsible for 10% of the nations GNP. As climate change is now real, despite Republicans continued denial, and can be documented by scientists worldwide. With Greenland and Antarctica polar ice melting quickly, sea levels rising, being measured and documented, projected to rise several feet in the coming decades. The hard lessons witnessed from Hurricane Sandy, now in the rear view mirror and costing New York 60 billion dollars in rebuilding.
Prudent action needs to be implemented. Offering some of the most expensive real estate on the planet with Manhattan office space now costing over $73.00 per square foot. Some top end office leases now cost over $150.00 per square foot. Valuable real estate needs to be physically protected. Manhattan has been awarded 335 million dollars in federal funding for resiliency improvements from the housing and Urban development. A ten foot high resiliency wall is being constructed around the entire 10 miles of shoreline to protect the sinking island of Manhattan. No longer the talk of science fiction, The 10 mile resiliency wall will be constructed in sections.
The first section of two miles will begin construction in 2017 from Harrison street to Montgomery street. The ten foot high resiliency wall, dubbed the “big U” constructed of steel and concrete berms. Later coined the “dryline” will also consist of bike paths, skateboard parks, ball fields, adding trees and grass to be used year round by residents and international visitors. The City of New York has added 170 million dollars to the project. The city of New York expects to eventually spend upwards of three billion dollars constructing the resiliency wall around the entire island of Manhattan.
Out of all the proposals from engineers, architects, urban planners and government officials. Four project finalists have been selected to work on the Manhattan Dryline resiliency project. The dryline is designed to be a urban public elevated park, green space, with retractable flood walls, storm water management system to be used all the time. One finalist Living Breakwaters proposal includes reseeding oyster beds to act a has natural element and has partnered with billion oyster project. Another proposal includes two additional bridges which have been proposed at a cost of 27 million dollars which already has received committed funds.
The reality of global warming is now front and center in the United States. The dryline is the first of many future green infrastructure coastal projects to be constructed in the future to avoid an Atlantis scenario. Currently the government has stepped up its efforts in resiliency projects funding.
