In attendance was Governor Pataki of New York, Mayor of New York Michael R. Bloomberg, and Kenneth D. Lewis, president and CEO of Bank of America. Remington Building was the tallest building demolished to make way for this tower. • Bank of America is the anchor tenant of 1 Bryant Park, now the Bank of America Tower. • It is expected that this building is LEED certified "Platinum" making it the first such skyscraper in the world. To achieve this, the property features "green" technology including a deep double-walled insulated facade, rooftop rain collection, filtered under-floor displacement air ventilation, a wind turbine, a 4.6-megawatt cogeneration plant, and a garden. The building is also be built largely of recycled materials and/or have materials sourced from no further than 500 miles from the site. Standing right next to another "green" skyscraper pioneer, 4 Times Square, the building is to have groundbreaking environmental features such as being able to generate 70% of its energy and gather all of its toilet water. • It provides home for Historic-Rebuilt Henry Miller Theater, as well as new Subway entrances and an underground pedestrian walkway, between the 6 th and 7 th avenue subway lines. • The building has a spire/antenna that will reach 1200 feet. In reality has two spires, the 365.76 meter (1200 foot) one is architectural and the 292.61 meter (960 foot) one is a wind turbine that would generate electricity for the building. The southern roof would rise to 287.88 meters (944 feet 6 inches) and the northern roof would rise to 258.47 meters (848 feet). |
