21 West End

This mixed-use residential project represents the first of many new buildings comprising the remaining southernmost parcel of the original Riverside South development, a site additionally complicated by an active and functioning below-grade rail line requiring extensive superstructure coordination.

At 43 stories and 768,690 square feet, the building comprises 616 studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom rental apartments, in addition to 22,000 square feet of retail space, a 117,000-square-foot public school with library and gym (K–8), and a highly curated amenity package that includes a private restaurant, indoor pool, sauna, yoga, and the usual components of full exercise and wellness programs.

In addition, a full 127 units at 21 West End are dedicated to affordable housing for low-income families. The evolving amenity program of the building has included an archeology exhibition (“The Riverside Project”) and is now home to New York City’s largest digital sculpture—Luci.
