DiCaprio Buys ‘Green’ NYC Condo
Every time he comes home, Leonardo DiCaprio is practicing what he preaches. The environmentally conscious actor has bought an apartment in Riverhouse, an eco-friendly building overlooking the Hudson River.
The purchase was confirmed on Friday by Christopher Daly, president of Sheldrake Organization, the developer of the Battery Park City complex. Occupancy is slated for this summer.
The 264-unit condominium glass tower overlooks the river and a park, and boasts low emission paints, a 24-hour fresh filtered air system, a water treatment facility and rotating solar panels.
DiCaprio seemingly also will have everything at his fingertips. The David Rockwell-designed high-rise features an indoor 50-foot lap pool, media cafe, fitness center, landscaped terrace _ and dog spa.
The building also will house the City Bakery and a branch of the New York Public Library.
DiCaprio has served on the board of directors of the environmental organization Global Green USA. He also owns a hybrid car and had solar panels put on his Los Angeles home.
Well, gee, most of us common folk can’t afford a 1 bedroom condo at the bargain based price of $835,000! Or for those with families: 2 bedrooms – $1,185,000, or 3 bedrooms – $1,725,000, or how about the really big family who need 4 bedrooms – $2.795,000!
Hey, Di Caprio…..come down out of your ivory tower, and try living with the REAL world for a change!
Sigh….reckon you have to be a RICH socialist to be truly green. Hmm….. Seems to me, Ed Bagley, Jr manages.
Not sure why how he chooses to spend his money makes him a feckless weasel. Last I checked this is still a free country, and the man is entitled to live where he wants if he can afford it.
LOL Sorry you took it that way. Ya see, my point is….the Di Caprio types are telling YOU have to live, while for the, it’s a no lose situation. Can you afford such a “green” home? They are also telling you that you don’t pay enough taxes, are pushing a socialistic agenda, yet…. See?
I don’t have that big a problem with it, if the man is living the way he preaches. I loathe Hypocrisy. Can I afford it, no, but he can so more power to him.

Did they make those on-site or ship them from China?
Hmmm…. probably China…made with slave labor and such. :/
