green roof

eco¹⁸ will feature an 11,250 square foot green roof, nearly 42 percent of the entire site area, on the fourth floor (over the parking garage) that will provide condominium owners with a common recreational garden oasis in the heart of the city.

Benefits of the green roof:

• Instead of adding to the urban heat-island effect, it actually cools the surrounding air.
• It plays a large role in reducing stormwater run-off.
• It extends the useful life of the underlying waterproofing membrane.
• It acts as an additional layer of insulation on the roof.
