Let's take a closer look at the up and coming 5th and Madison construction. Not only is this one fittingly green in the middle of the Emerald City, but she's looking pretty nice. The 24-story condo describes its goal as making "the line between indoors and outdoors thinner." A beautiful courtyard features a tranquil river that tumbles into a waterfall at the main entrance to the building.
Energy efficiency in the building has been streamlined so that usage is 20% better than industry standards. The floor to ceiling windows will maximize natural light, reducing the energy toll even more.
A green roof plaza will simultaneously reduce and filter runoff that dumps into Seattle's drains while using its garden to infuse the city air with fresh oxygen.
The green theme even extends as far as fuel-saving transportation. Ample bike storage space as well as on site Flexcars are promised here.
Construction is said to finish this year. The 5th and Madison was named among the top 10 green condos in America in September 2007.
