El Jardin de Selene is a mixed-use, affordable housing development located in the Melrose Commons area of the Bronx, NY. The 12-story building, one of the tallest in the area, serves as a reminder of the rich architectural heritage of the Bronx, with art deco elements incorporated into the design.
The tower provides 84 rental units in an array of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments. Residents have access to over 2,000 square feet of community space, including a laundry room and an outdoor courtyard at the second level. The building also includes 6,000 square feet of commercial space and over 12,000 square feet of parking.
El Jardin de Selene recently received LEED-Gold certification, and is also NYSERDA Energy Star certified and Enterprise Green Communities compliant. Meeting these stringent requirements were achieved through a variety of sustainable elements including daylight and occupancy sensors in common areas, energy star fixtures and appliances, bamboo flooring, green roof at 9th Floor setbacks, high-performance windows, thru-wall ventilation and solar panels on the building's roof.
