RXR’s Hamilton Green project in White Plains, NY, plans to repurpose the White Plains Mall into transit-oriented housing. The project is designed as a LEED Silver building, in line with Energy Star standards, and seeks to achieve the WELL Health + Safety certification upon opening, said Joseph Graziose Jr., EVP, RXR Development Services. Hamilton Green will also use smart-glass technology in its façade by automatically adjusting to minimize heat and glare, which will reduce energy consumption.
RXR “is committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2035 and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” through electrification, efficient technology, waste diversion, and more. “Across our operating assets, we’ve made strides since 2019 to reduce our energy usage and greenhouse-gas emissions. Each asset is governed by an individual business plan, which helps position our assets to be fueled by a zero-emission electric-power source. These initiatives have resulted in a 20 percent energy-use-intensity reduction and a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions in the last four years.” Graziose Jr. said.
