Built on a former brownfield, Ludlow Commons is certified LEED Gold. This development was designed to support the healthy, active lifestyles for its tenants. A community room and landscaped rear garden offer places to socialize, as do the elevator lobbies on each floor, which are extended to include a small sitting area with large windows.
Daylight allows to fill the spaces and provides views out to the Hudson River. At night, the lobbies help light the property, creating a safe building entrance. The building stairs are also brightly lit with large windows and colorful wall treatments making them appealing to encourage active use.
