#9 St. Patrick’s Cathedral goes energy efficient,More info:curbed

The country’s largest—and New York City’s oldest—Catholic Gothic cathedral is embarking on a new energy-efficient era. The Archdiocese of New York recently revealed that the historic St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue has been outfitted with a rather ingenious geothermal heating and cooling system.

A set of ten wells have been drilled up to 2,250 feet through the Manhattan schist below the floor of the popular landmark. These wells are hooked up to a water circulation loop linking the cathedral, a fancy ground source heating/cooling plant, and the earth. When fully operational, St. Patrick’s geothermal system will be capable of generating 2.9 million BTUs of air conditioning an hour, and 3.2 million BTUs of heating an hour. That’s in a soaring 76,000-square-foot space, mind you.

#6 St. Patrick’s Cathedral could cash in on air rights for $7.2M,More info:curbed

The Archdiocese of New York already has a tentative buyer who wants to purchase a porti of air rights from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, that could fetch as least $7.2 million, reports Crain’s. If the deal goes through, it would become the second deal to take advantage of the new Midtown East rezoning, with JPMorgan’s plans to demolish and rebuild their headquarters at 270 Park Avenue being the first.

Part of the Midtown East rezoning that was approved last summer was a provision that would allow landmarked buildings within the rezoned area to sell their air rights. Now one prominent building is looking to do just that.

The Archdiocese of New York is gearing up to sell air rights from St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, Crain’s reports. While the church was previously allowed to sell air rights, it was only restricted to neighboring projects. The rezoning opened up the sharing of air rights to any new developments in the 78-block stretch of the rezoned area.

A spokesperson for the Archdiocese declined to tell Crain’s if there were specific developers the church was in talks with, but before the sale of the air rights moves through, the church will have to detail how such a sale will go toward the upkeep of the cathedral.
