Building officials say New York City's first all-electric skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn is powered completely by solar energy.

The building is 80% leased to tenants, and includes businesses as well as affordable housing.

David McCarty, the vice president at Alloy Development, says they're hoping to help spearhead environmentally friendly buildings in the city.

“The goal that this is an example for other builders and architects to move into a new electrified construction environment," said McCarty.

McCarty says the building will also comply with the city's restrictions on fossil fuels in new buildings in 2026.

Tenants like Kathleen Kelejian tell News 12 she's excited to be a part of it.

“I had no idea that I would live in the first all-electric skyscraper, but it's really cool to know that our living situation is sustainable, and maybe this will be the standard going forward," said Kelejian.

McCarty says living sustainability can also be more comfortable. He says the building structure makes it quieter and the convection cooking could be a preferred method of cooking to some.

Resident's across the street, like Alan Seales, say while it may be good for the environment, he says the city hasn't been able to keep up with the trash.

"Before it was here, a lot less garbage, a lot less people traffic. If there’s a missed pickup due to holidays, there’s a 6 or 7-foot high wall of trash and recycling," said Seals.

The building is part of an ongoing project on the block. It helped two schools become more environmentally friendly, and another building is in the works.

The Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice tells News 12 buildings like these are the future of New York City.
