Millenium Partners
MNLA designed the streetscape and multiple greenroofs for Millennium Tower, a LEED Gold certified residential building in the South Residential Area. To meet the Battery Park City requirements for 75% green roof coverage, the entire 35th floor roof and portions of four private terraces are planted with an extensive greenroof. The ground floor planters take advantage of the windy downtown location by incorporating whimsical blue LED lights that bend in the breeze. In early summer tall purple alliums join in the movement. Diagonal bands of grasses and native groundcover emphasize their linear form.
