Located in Mount Vernon, New York, 42 Broad Street is a premier residential development setting new standards for sustainable luxury living. As the first large-scale apartment community in the United States designed to meet Passive House standards, 42 Broad is one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the country.

Inside and out, 42 Broad is designed for comfort and style, incorporating eco-conscious building practices and curated amenities. Residents enjoy a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a 3-season pool, a library with a cozy fireplace, and an expansive rooftop suite that blends indoor elegance with outdoor charm.

To extend the functionality and appeal of its outdoor amenities, 42 Broad integrated ShadeFX retractable shade systems into two key areas. On the 17th-floor rooftop deck, a 2-bay structure (each bay measuring 20’ x 12’) creates a comfortable, shaded lounge where residents can relax, socialize, and enjoy year-round city views. A second 3-bay system (12’ x 10’ per bay) was installed outside the Fleetwood Lounge, providing shade for the poolside dining area and lounge space featuring built-in fireplaces. Both installations feature motorized canopies with durable Arcade FR Misty Grey fabric and a grey frame to match the building’s modern aesthetic. These shade systems provide weather protection, flexible coverage, and a seamless extension of the luxury living experience that defines 42 Broad.

By integrating ShadeFX into its amenity spaces, 42 Broad Street has increased the comfort and functionality of its outdoor areas, enhancing the property value while supporting its commitment to high-performance design. The retractable systems not only provide necessary protection from the elements but also contribute to a welcoming, resort-style atmosphere that appeals to today’s luxury renter.
