20 River Terrace (The Solaire)
20 River Terrace, New York, NY 10282
- Year built
- 2003
The Solaire at 20 River Terrace is the first LEED Gold-certified residential high-rise in the United States — a 2003 Pelli Clarke Pelli design for the Albanese Organization in Battery Park City.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the first-LEED-Gold-certified-residential-high-rise-in-the-US institutional pedigree — anchoring the building's sustainability-history credential. Second, the Pelli Clarke Pelli architectural pedigree — Cesar Pelli's broader NYC residential body of work includes One West End, the Solaire, the Visionaire, and substantial international body of work. Third, the photovoltaic and rainwater recycling infrastructure — among the most architecturally celebrated sustainability features in 2003-era US residential.
