SUMMIT

SUMMIT is located at the top of One Vanderbilt, New York City’s fourth-tallest building and one of the most sustainable skyscraper designs in the world.

One Vanderbilt’s rainwater harvesting system, temperature-regulating, sustainably designed facade, and state-of-the-art HVAC and building management systems all reduce the number of city resources it consumes, benefiting New Yorkers everywhere.

Because One Vanderbilt is so close to several subways, commuter rail stations, and buses, as well as walking and bicycle paths, it allows you to save pollution-causing fuel and avoid contributing to local traffic.

When it comes to NYC sustainability, SUMMIT has a great track record. It holds a LEED Gold certification, which is a widely recognized standard for sustainable building design and construction. Its terrace also contains one of the world’s highest urban alpine meadows, a green space at a mountain-like altitude on the SUMMIT terrace. This helps offset the urban heat island effect, a climate phenomenon that makes cityscapes hotter and more harmful to the atmosphere.
