Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31; counts are by tax lot, as the owners filed them. The 2024 filing was due June 3, 2025, so a storefront vacant then may have been leased since. A vacant storefront is not always on the market, and none here is listed on Leasemark unless it shows above.

NYC energy benchmarking (Local Law 84)
Energy use and emissions
The 29th Street Towers's 2024 Local Law 84 benchmarking filing got no ENERGY STAR score, and Local Law 33 letter grades come from that score, so the filing does not yield an A to D grade. Its site energy use came to 32.1 kBtu per square foot, less than half the national median of 115.2 for a similar property. Its greenhouse gas emissions were about 108 metric tons of CO2e (2.38 kg per square foot).

Local Law 97 of 2019, estimated
Local Law 97 emissions limit
At its 2024 energy use, the 29th Street Towers comes to about 108 metric tons of CO2e a year under Local Law 97's coefficients, against a limit of 343 tons for 2024 to 2029 (31% of the limit), so it would owe no penalty. From 2030 the limit drops to 122 tons and the same energy use counts as about 108 tons, still under the limit.

Estimated from the owner's 2024 Local Law 84 filing, which reports energy by source and floor area by use: Office 45,211 SF. It applies the coefficients and per-use limits in Department of Buildings rule 1 RCNY 103-14 and Administrative Code 28-320.3.1.1 (as the Department lists them) and the $268 per ton penalty, checked 2026-10-04. It is not the building's Local Law 97 report: that report can count renewable energy credits, solar and storage deductions and, for 2024 and 2025, the law's occupancy group limits where higher, and penalties can be reduced for good faith efforts.
Change these numbers in the Local Law 97 calculator to see what a cut in energy use would do to the penalty.

Does the 29th Street Towers have an energy grade?
