A new Bronx building will soon have residents going green in more ways than one.
Known as "Arbor House", the nearly $38 million project built on land purchased from the New York City Housing Authority's Forest Houses property in Morrisania boasts a hydroponic rooftop farm for growing fresh vegetables.
The eight-story building located at 770 East 166th Street features 124 units of affordable housing and a variety of green perks like a living green wall in the lobby and "stair music", in the hopes that people will take the stairs and get some exercise.
"To try to encourage people to think about using the stairs. You can't make them do it but try to encourage them to think it's an option," said Blue Sea Development President Les Bluestone.
