Developed by Toll Brothers and The Kibel Companies, sales have opened at 303 East 33rd Street, which is touting itself as Murray Hill’s first green residential project. The 12-story tower will feature 128 units and seek an unspecified level of LEED certification. Perkins Eastman is the architect; studios to three-bedrooms range from 500 to 3000 square feet and from $635,000 to $4.5 million. LEED-standard green design features will include bamboo flooring and cabinetry, EnergyStar appliances and efficient water fixtures, while residents with hybrid cars will receive a parking discount. Demolition materials were recycled into the project’s structural components and low-VOC paints and carpets will be installed throughout. The tower will also bicycle storage place and a 5000-square-foot terrace with a pool and green roof.
