Di Caprio buys eco-friendly apartment

Leonardo Di Caprio has bought an environmentally-friendly apartment in New York City.

'The Departed' star has paid an unknown amount for the luxury pad in the revolutionary 263-unit Riverhouse complex, which was built with non-pollutant materials and solar-powered energy.

DiCaprio's new home, which overlooks the Hudson River, comes with programmable thermostats, a 24-hour fresh-filtered air system, a dog spa, media café and rooftop green landscaping.

He is expected to move into his new apartment this summer.

The actor's representative says: "Riverhouse is a prime example of how green technology is both accessible and achievable for new residential developments - it is a groundbreaking building."
