Gotham Greens Greenpoint Rooftop Farm

About Gotham Greens Greenpoint Rooftop Farm

Their flagship greenhouse built in 2010 was the first commercial scale rooftop greenhouse in the United States. The rooftop greenhouse, designed, built, owned, and operated by Gotham Greens measures over 15,000 ft2 and annually produces over 100 tons of fresh leafy greens.

All products are grown using recirculating irrigation systems that capture all water for re-use and are free of any harmful chemical pesticides, insecticides or herbicides. We employ integrated pest management solutions, including biological controls such as using beneficial insects to prey on harmful pests. Electrical demands are offset by 60kW of on site solar PV panels and high efficiency design features including, LED lighting, advanced glazing, passive ventilation, and thermal curtains, sharply reduce electrical and heating demand. Rooftop integration further reduces energy use while serving to insulate the building below.
