The developer received funding from the [[New York (state)|State of New York]], which was somewhat controversial as the developer was only required to agree to set aside 10% of the units as "affordable housing" or "moderate income", rather than the usual 80:20 agreement. When the building opened, rents ranged from roughly $2,500 to $9,001 depending on the size of the unit. The building has been rated [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Platinum.<ref name="ambitious">{{cite web |url=https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/future-nyc/battery-park-city-looks-ambitious-sustainable-future-see-greenest-buildings-apartments-here/46521 |title=Battery Park City looks to an ambitious and sustainable future: See its greenest buildings and apartments here |date=November 8, 2022 |website=City Realty |access-date=January 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230117010721/https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/market-insight/features/future-nyc/battery-park-city-looks-ambitious-sustainable-future-see-greenest-buildings-apartments-here/46521 |archive-date=January 17, 2023}}</ref> The energy conserving building design is 35% more energy-efficient than code requires, resulting in a 67% lower electricity demand during peak hours, resulting in, among other benefits, lower electric bills for residents. Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electricity, supplemented by a computerized building management system and environmentally responsible operating and maintenance practices to further reduce the building's environmental impact.
