DiCaprio's representative confirmed the sale, but did not reveal how much the star had paid, saying: "Riverhouse is a prime example of how green technology is both accessible and achievable for new residential developments - it is a groundbreaking building."
Riverhouse is described as "the highest performance green living in Manhattan condominiums".
The 264-unit complex in Rockefeller Park was built using locally acquired renewable materials, is partly powered by solar energy, offers a 24-hour fresh-filtered air system and boasts green rooftops planted with pine trees.
Riverhouse residents also have access to a children's playroom, media cafe, fitness centre, dog spa and a treehouse.
DiCaprio has long been an ardent campaigner on green issues. He was one of the first people to buy a hybrid car and has established his environment awareness organisation the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
He also co-wrote and produced 'The 11th Hour', a documentary about why the planet is in crisis.
Pierce Brosnan is 'outrageously' kissable! Legendry actor Pierce Brosnan may not be attached to the 'James Bond' film series anymore, but he is still considered to be one of the most kissable men in Hollywood.
