The Casey Condominiums

The World's First LEED Platinum Highrise Condominiums

The Casey, a 143,000 square foot tower, features a broad range of sustainability-focused features including heat-recovery ventilation, photovoltaic solar panels, and finishes, paint and carpeting that eliminate occupant exposure to toxic chemicals found in conventional buildings, and extensive use of daylighting and natural ventilation.

The Casey is designed to use 52% less energy and 32% less water than a conventional building of its type. An eco-roof helps cool the building and manage stormwater runoff.The building also features an integrated multi-faceted glass art installation featuring a textured art glass spire extending from the second floor to the rooftop. It can be enjoyed from the street and by residents from the building lobby, which combines warm colors with a clean, crisp and contemporary feel.
