 It appears that the Harsen House won’t be the only LEED-certified project that will rise along West 72nd Street. According to a report that appeared in Friday’s Real Deal, 200 West 72nd Street will seek an unspecified level of LEED certification for 196 luxury rental units and 48,000 square feet of retail space which the building will offer across its bottom 5 floors. The $200 million, 19-story tower, which was designed by Handel Architects and is being developed by the Gotham Organization, will rise on the southwest corner of 72nd and Broadway and should be completed sometime in 2009; leasing for the apartments will open early next year. The Real Deal reports that Gotham is “pretty close” to inking three tenants for the retail space, which ranges in price from $100 per square foot on the lower sub-ground floors to $550 per square foot on street level.
