Market-Rate Rentals and Workforce Housing in a New Neighborhood on Roosevelt Island

Riverwalk Crossing was the seventh building completed by Hudson and the Related Companies in the Riverwalk neighborhood. The building contains luxury market-rate rentals as well as housing for use by Memorial Sloan Kettering. The building contains a fitness center, yoga studio, landscaped sun terrace with BBQ dining area, lounge, children’s playroom, bike storage, an entertainment lounge, penthouse party lounge, and a 24-hour attended lobby. 

In 1997, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC) designated Hudson and the Related Companies to create a new neighborhood that would fulfill the island’s General Development Plan designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. Today the development provides high-quality housing, open space, and neighborhood-serving retail that is a short subway and tram ride away from Manhattan’s Upper East Side and one-ferry ride from Astoria and Long Island City. 

Upon completion, the Riverwalk neighborhood will consist of approximately 2,000 residential units across 9 buildings with 40% of the total units affordable to residents earning less than 148% of AMI.
