Excerpt:
The building stands out for its 1,500-square-foot rooftop greenhouse and aquaponics urban farming system that gives residents the ability to grow fresh vegetables during the entire year. The farming system will contain fish, herbs, vegetables, and microgreens, all of which will be grown in a “symbiotic ecosystem,” according to a press release.
