The antidote to sky-high electrical bills in new construction condos may be architect Robert Scarano’s green condo project at 67 Brighton 1 Lane in Brighton Beach. The building will sell energy back to the grid, and residents should have very low or no utility bills, as we wrote in November. There will also be composting toilets and a hot tub, said a story today in The New York Daily News.
In November, we wrote that marketing had started for the building, with six units priced from $295,000 for a studio to $795,000 for a two-bedroom loft with outdoor space. The New York Daily News says sales will start in April, with prices slightly higher than they were in November. Prices will start at $325,000 for a studio and go up to $850,000 for a two-bedroom with two baths. The building does not yet have its certificate of occupancy and no listings have gone up yet.
The development cost about $600 per square foot to build, or about two times the average in New York City, according to the Daily News.

I could absolutely care less. No one here means diddly squat to me, Especially you of all people. I tried to like you, Dave, I really did, but I just can’t.
There is absolutely nothing about you that is likeable.
Moonface, I appreciate you sticking up for me, thank you.
Mildred, your right up there with Dave, or should I say, right at the bottom with Dave…
this site used to be fun with nice people, not so much anymore.
We had a clothesline when I was a kid, my mom used it all year long as much as possible. Sometimes in winter if she forgot the clothes outside she would have to pull them in frozen and stiff as a board, We cracked up every time. She still has one in her current yard but only uses it during summer. I remember most houses and buildings in Brooklyn and Queens having them.
Methinks dear adastos needs a good trepanning to take the pressure off.
my dear adrastostargazer… You know, there was a time before indoor plumbing too. I feel no nostalgia for pooping in the yard.
LOL, now how many times have we read someone arguing with dave, i cant even count that high.
again, what do you think they did before dryers were invented??????
well, what did they do??????
how old are you? 9?
then that’s a good idea. I wonder though if thier electric bills will be low, because coned has done a number on us all this year…
I just get nuts when i hear about all this “energy” conservation, and “going green” energy efficiency and all that crap…when one of the most simplest and cheapest things to do is dry clothes on a line….where is costs nothing. thats all.
Actually it does work in the winter. Clothes do dry outside in the cold, and they smell good also.
Everyone knows that, well, except you, obviously.
So, hang up clothes all around the apartment. or wait until winter is over to do laundry. Got it.
