New Face of the Riverside Boulevard

Last year was started the construction one of the towers of the residential complex Riverside South named One Riverside Park, which is located in the Upper West Side. The Upper West Side is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan, NYC, that lies between Central Park and the Hudson River, and between West 59th Street and West 116th Street.

Like the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side is an upscale, primarily residential area. It has the reputation of being home to New York City’s cultural, intellectual hub (with Columbia University located at the north end of the neighborhood), and artistic workers (with Lincoln Center located at the south end), while the Upper East Side is traditionally perceived to be home to commercial and business types. One Riverside Park, the newest luxury condominium in Riverside South, a thriving enclave on the Upper West Side.

Building’s Exterior
Designed by award-winning architecture firm Goldstein Hill & West Architects, One Riverside Park, located at 50 Riverside Boulevard and 62nd Street, between Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues brings a new level of refinement to waterfront living on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The building rises 604 feet (184 m) above street level, containing 33 floors and 219 residential units.

The building was designed by the architectural firm Goldstein, Hill & West Architects, who also designed The Aldyn and The Ashley, also on Riverside Boulevard, plus the Silver Towers Manhattan development. The building has an underground tunnel linking residents to the LA PALESTRA Athletic Club & Spa next door in The Aldyn.

The building’s exterior, which will be constructed primarily from glass and limestone, was designed to complement the modern aesthetic of the Riverside South neighborhood. According the architects “the original buildings were governed by zoning and design guidelines that were restrictive in the amount of glass and stone used,” said Mr. Hill. “With this building we have more freedom with its façade and materials.”

Buildings on the northern end of the site tend to have heavier materials and smaller windows, he noted. The new tower at 40 Riverside will have a stone base but transition into more glass as it rises, he said. It will have an “appearance of a curtain wall.”
