This week’s worst youtube real estate video is a luxury apartment in Singapore’s Orchard Residences. All in all, not the absolute worst real estate video we have featured. It is short, to the point and thank goodness - whoever shot it took my advice and bought themselves a tripod.

With a mechanical pan facility judging from the incredibly annoying tick, whirr, tick, click of the mechanism which is the only sound on this video. How hard can it be to find and add a suitable soundtrack?

At least it is not a slide show

Apparently practicing what he preaches, Leonardo DiCaprio has just purchased a “green,” luxury apartment overlooking the Hudson river in “Riverhouse,” an eco-friendly development in the Battery City Complex.

The high-rise, designed by David Rockwell, will feature a media café, fitness center, and indoor fifteen meter lap pool and an extremely eco-friendly dog spa.

The building’s plans also call for a branch of the New York Public Library and the City Bakery. Christopher Daly, president of the Sheldrake organization confirmed the purchase late last week, although Mr. DiCaprio declined to comment.

The “green,” aspects of the building include filtered air and water, triple-layered windows and non-emitting carpets and paints. But the design has also come in for considerable criticism over the large footprint and lack of esthetics. Plus their artists’ renderings, which make the building appear to be a lone building out in the country – as opposed to one of many high-rises planned for the area.

Leonardo DiCaprio himself is a commited environmentalist, and has recieved praise for some of his choices, including the fact that he opts to use commercial flights instead of chartering a private jet, as many of his peers are wont to do.
