The Riverhouse

2 River Terrace, Battery Park City, New York, NY 10282

 

A block to the west of Tribeca, this residential condominium tower overlooks the Hudson River and Rockefeller Park at Battery Park City on some of the city's most desirable waterfront property. The 32-story u-shaped building was designed by Polshek Partnership with interiors by David Rockwell (Nobu, W Hotels). A 14-story west wing faces the river, a 13-floor east wing faces Lower Manhattan and a 32-story tower faces south. The wings have landscaped roof gardens, and the tower has a 4-story glass-enclosed portico/lobby. The "green" building (the 258-unit condominium has obtained LEED Gold certification) offers residents twice-filtered air and water, non-toxic materials, triple-layered windows and lower energy costs. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a live-in super, on-site parking, a fitness center with yoga studio, a lap pool, children???s playroom, billiards room, media cafe, and second floor landscaped garden overlooking Teardrop Park. Poets House (a 45,000 volume poetry library), a branch of the New York Public Library and Le Pain Quotidien occupy the building's retail spaces. Rockefeller Park, Teardrop Park, the Hudson River Esplanade and the restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions of Tribeca are just steps away.
