# Sky Gardens Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is a 6,000-Square-Foot NYC Project By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-06-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eagle-street-rooftop-farm References: [brownstoner](http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2010/06/eagle_street_ro.php) & [rooftopfarms.org](http://rooftopfarms.org/) Eagle Street Rooftop Farm is one of a growing number of [green roof projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-seoul-rooftops) popping up in [urban settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-ecological-design). The 6,000-square-foot [organic garden project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxeisland-farm), designed by Lisa Goode, tops a Brooklyn warehouse. Goode says that green roofs reduce utility bills by helping to regulate building heat and extending roof-use life cycle. The roof at the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm includes an installation of 'rooflite' Certified Green Roof Media and helps to re-route rainwater that would otherwise go directly to storm drains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Green Roofs:** The trend towards creating green rooftops in urban areas presents opportunities for companies specializing in eco-friendly construction and design. - **Urban Farming:** The increasing popularity of urban farms, as showcased by the Eagle Street Rooftop Farm, creates potential for companies to offer sustainable solutions for urban agriculture. - **Rainwater Collection:** As more green roofs use rainwater collection systems to increase environmental sustainability, businesses can provide innovative rainwater harvesting products and services. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** With the growth of green roof projects, the construction industry can integrate eco-friendly building practices into their services. - **Agriculture:** The increasing interest in urban farming presents opportunities for the agriculture industry, including developing new technologies for vertical farming or hydroponics. - **Water Management:** With more buildings implementing rainwater collection systems, the water management industry can provide innovative solutions and technologies that improve water conservation and management. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [London-Based Garden Roofscapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roof-garden.md) - [Urban Roofscape Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-yards.md) - [Enclosed Vertical Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-1.md) - [Expansive Local Vertical Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onefarm-vertical-farm.md) - [Green Roof Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shibanee-kamal.md) - [Planted Roof Extension Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hope-villa.md) - [Urban Greening Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-green.md) - [Zero-Emissions Fresh Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbe-square-roots.md) - [Elevated Garden Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attic-above-garden.md)
