The Visionaire, a tremendous new Green building overlooking the Hudson, has secured LEED Platinum status, just about the most prestigious honor possible for a Green living space. Here's a quote:

“We are extremely proud to have the Visionaire recognized as a ‘Platinum’ building by the U.S.G.B.C., and to continue our pushing of the envelope in sustainability for residential buildings,” George Aridas, executive vice president for the Albanese Organization, told Mixed Use.

The accolades keep piling up for this superb building... Just last month the Visionaire won a 2009 Building Type Honor citation from the American Institute of Architects for "excellence and innovation in specialized design fields."
