Via Verde in New York, New York is a 290,000 square foot residential development that is mixed-use and mixed-income, meaning that it allows for people with different incomes to occupy and use the space. More specifically, the 20 story building has 222 residential units, with 71 units for sale to those in the middle-income class and a couple of other units for those with low- or moderate-income. Furthermore, Via Verde also consists of duplex apartments and townhouses. 

Each apartment has two sides that allow for light to enter, helping with ventilation. Additionally, each has water and energy conservation fixtures. As a way to promote healthy and sustainable living, Grimsraw incorporated garden rooftops, which can be seen in the photo above. The architects believed that by having these gardens, residents can live happily and have a healthy, active lifestyle while sharing a common space with other residents.
