Meet Roosevelt Island's Eco- Friendly Octagon With Free Rent Through End of Year!
Our friends over at Curbed are showcasing Roosevelt Island's own Octagon today after viewing a Craigslist ad describing a "Live Green" 2 bedroom 2 bath rental for $3529 a month with free rent through the end of 2008. According to Curbed:

Branding the dev as a "full-service Eco-friendly Landmark building," the Octagon boasts a community garden, a Zip Car fleet, and daycare for the kiddies -- feel-good services for these uncertain (but certainly depressing) economic times....Here's a previous post on life at the Octagon and other Roosevelt Island buildings.
