The environmentally friendly Bright ‘n Green condos designed by Robert Scarano in Brighton Beach hit the market last week, Sheepshead Bites reported. The 7,000-square-foot building at 67 Brighton 1st Lane has six units ranging from $295,000 for a studio to $795,000 for a two-bedroom loft with outdoor space.

The net-zero energy building will have solar panels, wind turbines and rainwater collection, and promises “urban farming” and a “migratory bird, bee and butterfly habitat,” according to its website. The apartments have “light-maximizing windows…composed of triple-glazed Krypton-filled solar thermal treated glass and installed inside double-sealed, air-tight insulated window frames,” as well as induction stoves, low-flow toilets and LED lighting.

There’s also a 1,000-square-foot commercial space on the ground floor that Scarano said he hopes to lease to a community-oriented tenant like a preschool or yoga studio, according to the press release sent out about the building. GMAP

  1. NO WAY! I live in a scarano building. Been here 5 years next month. Guess what? Every unit in our building is only about to start paying an assessment that is MORE than their mortgage payments each month because of this guy. Sure, the sponsor and all the contractors are to blame, but scarano did not follow through with inspections and knowingly skirted legal building codes. What he left was years of litigation and owner expense. He should not be allowed to practice until everyone he f@&$ed over is reimbursed in full…and then some. Mental note: do NOT buy new construction in this city.
