100 Passive House Apartments Open at Beach Green Dunes

The 100 affordable apartments are now open at Beach Green Dunes in the Edgemere section of Far Rockaway, Queens, one of the largest apartments buildings in the country to be certified by the Passive House Institute of the United States.

“Harnessing cutting-edge building methods and green technology, these 100 newly-constructed affordable homes embody the community-driven vision of HPD’s Resilient Edgemere Plan, and reflect the City’s careful yet aggressive stewardship of its remaining vacant land,” said Maria Torres-Springer (pictured), commissioner of the New York City Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Developed by The Bluestone Organization, the $32.5 million building is designed to be so energy-efficient that the apartments will remain comfortable on most days and nights, without needing too run the heating ventilation and air conditioning systems.
