Leonardo DiCaprio Buys An Eco-Friendly NYC Condo - Starpulse Entertainment News Blog

Leonardo DiCaprio Buys An Eco-Friendly NYC Condo - Starpulse Entertainment News Blog: "NEW YORK (AP) - 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."

I think there will be more of these "eco-friendly" developments in the years to come. But they will be expensive. It's nice that these stars have private jets, so they can fly around saving the planet from people like me who drive SUVs to the train station.

What goes on in a dog spa, anyway? All my dog wants to do is sleep, eat, bark, and play. I don't think he wants cucumber slices on his eyes, but I could be wrong.
