Brooklyn's 1 Java Street to be Largest Geothermal Residential Building in U.S.
Lendlease is building the largest residential apartment complex in the US to be heated by geothermal energy in Brooklyn. The complex will have 834 rental units across 5 buildings, including a 37-story and a 20-story tower. Using geothermal will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 53%, but it will cost about 6% more to build. The project will be entirely net zero when it opens in 2025, meeting New York's new emissions sustainability standards for large buildings.
