Riverwalk Park is the eighth building developed by Related and Hudson as part of the neighborhood’s planned complex. When completed, the new neighborhood will consist of 2,000 residential units across nine buildings, with 40 percent of them set aside for New Yorkers earning at or below 148 percent of the AMI.

Amenities at the building include a fitness center and yoga studio, a children’s playroom, party lounge and game room, bike storage, and an attended lobby. And each apartment features views of the Hudson and East Rivers.

Located at 460 Main Street, the building is near the main shopping and dining strip of Roosevelt Island, as well as its riverfront parks and the F subway train. Other transit options include the Tram, the Ferry, the Q102, and the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation’s red bus.

Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the affordable units until July 6, 2020. Complete details on how to apply are available here (pdf). Preference for 50 percent of the units will be given to residents of Manhattan Community Board 8. Questions regarding this offer must be referred to NYC’s Housing Connect department by dialing 311.
