The Blue Sea Development Company’s new state-of-the-art housing complex planned for the South Bronx, NY will be the first ever affordable housing development to feature a fully integrated hydroponic rooftop farm, designed by BrightFarm Systems. The six-story building will feature a 10,000 sq ft rooftop greenhouse that will operate using leftover heat from the building and water harvested from the greenhouse roof. Annually, the farm will be capable of producing the equivalent fresh vegetables needs of up to 450 people, capture 750,000 liters of stormwater, and mitigate 80 tons of CO2.
