In 2008, Bakhshi began setting into motion construction on an "eco-friendly" SoHo nightclub called "Greenhouse." Prior to opening, Bakshi held publicity parties for Greenhouse at the Cannes Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and Paris Fashion Week. The latter party was hosted by models Jessica Stam and Carmen Kass at Le Baron, a club in Paris. Bakhshi worked with architect, Antonio Di Oronzo, on the design of the Varick Street club. Greenhouse featured hick bamboo walls, LED lighting, sustainable uniforms for employees, wind-generated electricity, waterless urinals, and vodka served in recycled bottles. It featured two levels on which differing styles of music could be played simultaneously. The club was also the first LEED-certified nightclub in the United States. The club officially opened in October 2008. Bakhshi sold his interest in the club in 2011. Greenhouse would eventually close in April 2014.
