Kalahari Condominium
Harlem's Hybrid Home, Where Luxury Means Green
The Kalahari Condominium, currently under construction will be a residential, retail and community facility, designed to meet the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED high performance standards. Some 250 units will be available to a mixture of income groups - half will be considered affordable housing - within the economic reach of middle to low-income households and half will be for market-rate households.
The My Image is a multifaceted entertainment venue which will show motion pictures targeting the Black and Hispanic urban market as its centerpiece. Located within Harlem's Kalahari Complex as its own condominium unit, My Image will offer unique options in entertainment - movies and live performances, dining, and learning. It will occupy 20,000 square feet of space that includes three theaters, upscale concessions, café, full service restaurant and bar, and a post production facility for professionals and students in the media arts.

As the United States' first Green High-rise Residential building, the Solaire stands as a lower Manhattan landmark. Certified LEED Gold, Full Spectrum participated in the Solaire as consultants with the high performance and green technologies. The Solare has many innovative green features including a state of the art black water system, a Building Integrated Photovoltaic System, gas fired chillers and heat recovery from mechanical systems. The 27-story, 293 unit glass and brick rental residental tower was completed in 2003.
