Architect unveils plans for next-gen skyscraper that will be unlike anything else in the world: 'I think we will see long-term value'
Briefly

Alloy Development unveiled plans for a 63-story skyscraper in Brooklyn, designed as the world's tallest passive house. This building will offer nearly 600 affordable rental apartments and six floors of office space, executing sustainable practices to reduce energy consumption significantly. The passive-house model, utilizing concrete for insulation, minimizes the necessity for mechanical heating and cooling, leading to lower utility costs for residents. With its construction starting this summer, the project emphasizes energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, forming a notable addition to Alloy's existing sustainability efforts.
