Riverside South is an urban development project in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, United States. Developed by Donald Trump in collaboration with six civic associations, the largely residential complex is on 57 acres (23 ha) of land along the Hudson River between 59th Street and 72nd Street. The $3 billion project, which replaced a New York Central Railroad yard known as the 60th Street Yard, includes multiple residential towers and a extension of Riverside Park.

There were several proposals for the site in the late 20th century. These included the Litho City plan in the 1960s, Trump's 1970s plan, and the Lincoln West plan of the early 1980s. The current proposal stems from Trump's late-1980s proposal for Television City. Television City was originally designed to include 16 apartment buildings, 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2) of studio space, 300,000 square feet (30,000 m2) of office space, ancillary retail space, and a 75-acre (30 ha) waterfront park. Trump sold Riverside South to investors from Hong Kong and mainland China, which built seven structures starting in 1997. In 2005, the investors sold the remaining unfinished portions to the Carlyle Group and the Extell Development Company. which developed three more buildings. In turn, Extell sold off some of the southernmost plots in the 2010s; these sites became Waterline Square.

60th Street Rail Yard

[edit]

Before Riverside South was developed, the site was a rail freight yard owned by the New York Central Railroad, located between 59th and 72nd streets.[1] By 1849 an embankment near West End Avenue, with a span over a tidal lagoon, carried the Hudson River Railroad, later part of New York Central. At the time, much of the current site of Riverside South was still under water.[2] By 1880, what had been river was transformed by landfill into the New York Central Railroad's vast 60th Street Yard.[2][3] Within the 60th Street Yard, a set of 400-foot-long (120 m) piers extended into the Hudson River, where barges carried railcars across the river to New Jersey.[4] The piers protruded at a 55-degree angle and each contained tracks.[5]

In the 1930s, New York City parks commissioner Robert Moses covered New York Central's rail track north of 72nd Street as part of the West Side Improvement, which also moved rail lines below grade south of 60th Street.[6][7]: 696–698  The Moses project was bigger than Hoover Dam and created the Henry Hudson Parkway. The adjacent Riverside Park was expanded to the Hudson River.[8]

Until the 1970s, the rail yard area was generally industrial.[2] The area was home to a printing plant for The New York Times between 1959 and 1975,[9] as well as ABC television studios. At the same time, public housing extended to West End Avenue (across the street from the printing plant and the TV studios), and the Lincoln Towers redevelopment project extended to the rail yard boundary along Freedom Place.[10] New York Central merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central in 1968 as the rail lines were suffering severe financial difficulties.[11] The railroad went bankrupt in 1970,[12] and its assets were sold off in federal court.[13]

Early redevelopment plans

[edit]

In the late 20th century, there had been several proposals to develop structures over the rail yard.[1][15] These included the Litho City plan in the 1960s; real estate developer Donald Trump's 1970s plan; the Lincoln West plan of the early 1980s; and Trump's Television City plan of the late 1980s. In his book New York 2000, Robert A. M. Stern described the site as "one of the city's most coveted and contested parcels of open land".[1] The site was hard to develop in part because it did not have roads or utilities, and because any potential redevelopment would have had to be built over the train yard.[15]

1960s plans

[edit]

In 1961, the railroad proposed a partnership with the Amalgamated Lithographers Union to build Litho City, a mixed-use development over the tracks.[1][16] There would be six 47-story buildings and three 41-story buildings, all designed by Kelly & Gruzen. The development would have included 200 artists' studios that faced north; the rest of the units would be structured as rental apartments or housing cooperatives.[16] Sources variously cited Litho City as being built to accommodate 12,500[17] or 25,000 people.[16] The New York City Planning Commission (CPC) deferred action on the Litho City proposal for a year while it reviewed Litho City's effects on traffic in the neighborhood,[18] and the consulting firm of Day & Zimmerman warned that the development might worsen traffic.[19] Nonetheless, the union's president Edward Swayduck and the city's traffic commissioner Henry A. Barnes both endorsed the Litho City plan.[18]

The CPC designated the West Side rail yard as an urban renewal site in October 1962, allowing the plans for Litho City to proceed.[17][20] Shortly afterward, the Amalgamated Lithographers Union announced plans for a $15 million dormitory in the development, which would house 1,000 foreign students.[21] Plans also called for a promenade linking to Lincoln Center, in addition to a park on the Hudson River shoreline.[22] A scale model of Litho City was unveiled at Grand Central Terminal in 1963.[22] By then, the project was being planned as a high-income development, rather than a middle-income development; the cost of Litho City was estimated at $175 million.[23] There were to be 6,000 apartments,[24] and a new street, running parallel to the yard between 66th and 70th streets, was also proposed.[25] Moses also planned to build an exit from the West Side Highway to Litho City, prompting objections that the street grid could not handle the additional traffic.[26]

The plans for Litho City were formally dropped in January 1966 due to disputes over the air rights; the railroad had terminated the union's lease of the site two months prior.[27] In the late 1960s, there were various proposals by the city's Educational Construction Fund for mixed residential and school projects, also partly on landfill.[1][28] This development would have included several athletic fields and between 6,000 and 12,000 apartments.[1] In the early 1970s, Moses proposed relocating the highway between 59th and 72nd streets to ground level to facilitate an extension of Riverside Park, but he was unsuccessful.[29] The state rejected that proposal because of the presumed negative effect on development opportunities and because it would violate the Blumenthal Amendment, which prohibited any highway construction that would alter Riverside Park.[30][31]

In July 1974, Trump Enterprises Inc., a company controlled by Trump, offered to buy an option on the 100-acre (40 ha) 60th Street Yard and the 44-acre (18 ha) 30th Street Yard for a combined $100 million.[32] Trump did not make a down payment.[33][13] Penn Central, which at the time was under trusteeship due to its insolvency, petitioned its trustees to approve the sale.[32] Though both of the yards were still being used by freight trains,[32] the only structures on the sites were storage buildings and train tracks.[34] Following a private meeting with Trump, his father Fred, and Mayor Abraham Beame, Penn Central's trustees gave the option to Trump because he "seemed best positioned [...] to get rezoning and government financing".[13] A U.S. federal court approved Penn Central's sale of the option to Trump in March 1975.[34]

Initially, Trump wanted to build up to 20,000[35][36] or 30,000[13] housing units on the site.[13][35] At the time, he had never completed a major real-estate development before.[37] Local politicians including U.S. Representative Bella Abzug expressed concerns about the fact that the 60th Street redevelopment would cater mostly to middle- and upper-class families.[36] Trump presented plans for the development to local residents in April 1976. As part of the proposal, designed by Gruzen & Partners, the site would be divided into three sectors with at least four buildings each; about 40 percent of the development would be open space, and there would be one or two schools and a central shopping mall.[38] There would have been 14,500 apartments on the site, funded with federal subsidies.[38][39] Manhattan Community Board 7, representing the neighborhood that included the rail yard, opposed the plan.[35][38] Trump twice downsized his plans for the yards.[35] By May 1976, Trump's plans called for the West Side Highway to be relocated so he could build a park next to it;[40] the Department of City Planning endorsed this plan.[41] The state ultimately proposed reconstructing the highway viaduct instead.[42]

Another proposal, for 12,450 apartments, was dependent on public financing that never materialized.[43] In May 1979, Trump exercised his option on the site, agreeing to buy the yard for $28 million.[44] Had Trump finalized the acquisition, he would have been required to make payments over 18–30 months, after which he could take title to the site.[45] However, Trump never finalized his purchase, and his father's longtime friend Abe Hirschfeld agreed to take over the option instead.[46] By then, the city government was contemplating building a freight yard for piggyback trains on the site.[47][48] Penn Central signed a sale contract in March 1980, agreeing to sell Hirschfeld and his son Elie the site for $28 million.[49] Under the terms of the contract, the Hirschfelds made a $400,000 down payment and were required to spend $700,000 on planning over the next year.[47] Trump later said that his decision to let his option expire was "the toughest business decision in my life".[50]

Lincoln West

[edit]

Abe Hirschfeld and the Argentine astrophysicist Carlos Varsavsky acquired the 60th Street Yard site in late 1980.[51][52] Varsavsky's company, the Macri Group, became the project's majority partner, with a 65% ownership stake; the Hirschfelds held the remaining 35% stake.[47][51][15]

Initial plan

[edit]

Hirschfeld and Varsavsky formed a partnership named Lincoln West Associates to develop a project known as Lincoln West on the 60th Street Yard site.[53] Macri hired Gruzen & Partners to draw up plans for the project, and he hired former deputy mayor John Eugene Zuccotti and lawyer Judah Gribetz to consult on the project.[47] Rafael Viñoly assisted Gruzen with the plans.[54] The initial plans, announced in January 1981, called for 16 residential towers with a total of 4,850 apartments,[53][55] arranged around a new avenue called Lincoln Boulevard.[54] There would also be a 500-room hotel,[55] one or two office towers, and 42 acres (17 ha) of open space.[53] A 4,000-space parking garage would have been located underneath the development.[56] Due to the topography of the site, the buildings at both the northern and southern ends would have been located on a platform, and Lincoln Boulevard would have been built with two levels.[54] The first apartments would have begun construction in 1982, while the rest of the development would have been built in phases over a decade.[55][56]

Lincoln West Associates submitted a formal proposal for the site in November 1981.[15] When the plans were announced, The New York Times' architecture critic Paul Goldberger wrote that "much can be improved in the design of Lincoln West" but predicted that the development itself would alleviate the high demand for luxury housing in the city.[57] In late 1981, Lincoln West Associates offered to give $10,000 to Community Board 7 for a study of the project's impacts.[58] The plans had to undergo community review.[59] Opponents claimed that the development would overload the area's infrastructure,[56][60] and other critics took issue with the development's size[56][61] and the lack of affordable housing.[56][57] The firm of McKeown & Franz conducted an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the site.[50] The EIS found that the project would create 7,000 jobs, but that it would also overload existing transit infrastructure due to the presence of 9,200 additional commuters.[62] Community Board 7 refused to support the project unless it was downscaled to include fewer than 4,000 residential units.[63] Ultimately, Hirschfeld and Varsavsky agreed to pay for infrastructure improvements in the neighborhood.[57][64]

Macri sent the plans to the CPC for review in March 1982 but, despite the concerns over Lincoln West's size, initially refused to scale down the plans.[65] The same month, the city asked Lincoln West Associates to postpone its plans so the city could decide whether to build a new freight terminal there,[66][67] and Lincoln West Associates agreed to restart the community review process.[59] Additionally, part of the parking garage was replaced with space for trucking company, and the number of apartments was reduced to 4,700.[54] Manhattan borough president Andrew Stein wanted the project to be further reduced to 3,700 apartments, which Varsavsky refused.[60][68] The engineering firm Tippetts Abbett McCarthy Stratton conducted a feasibility study of the proposed freight-rail center, finding that it was feasible to build it under Lincoln West,[69] though Varsavsky opposed the freight center.[70][71]

Approval, lawsuits, and modifications

[edit]

The CPC approved the Lincoln West plans in July 1982,[70][72] disregarding most of the opponents' objections to the project, although it asked the developers to reduce the project's size.[73] The New York City Board of Estimate also gave its approval that September.[74][75][76] The plans called for 1,100 rental apartments (of which one-fifth would be affordable housing), in addition to 3,200 luxury co-ops or condos.[64] In addition, the developers agreed to add several amenities such as a swimming pool, a park, and upgrades to two nearby subway stops.[77] Lincoln West Associates paid $13 million for the northern five blocks shortly after the plans were approved, and it paid $21.6 million that December for the southern eight blocks.[78] The developers had planned to begin construction in April 1983,[76] but the plans were delayed after Varsavsky's sudden death in early 1983.[79] Francisco Macri took over Varsavsky's 65% interest in the project.[15]

Delays also arose from various lawsuits.[79] Opponents sued in the New York Supreme Court in February 1983, alleging that the EIS had been done improperly.[80] The EIS was invalidated the next month,[81] though the city government successfully appealed the ruling.[82] The New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, ruled in October 1983 that the EIS had been prepared properly.[83] In addition, Harry Helmsley, who owned an option on a superblock from 61st to 65th streets, sued the city and Lincoln West Associates, claiming that the city wanted to build three streets through his property.[84]

Though work had still not begun by early 1984, Lincoln West's developers were already revising the plans significantly, prompting its chairman to resign.[85] Additionally, in July 1984, Chase Manhattan Bank moved to foreclose on two mortgages that had been placed on the site.[86] The city government would have canceled the development if the street grid had not received final approval by that September,[87] but the Board of Estimate voted to extend the deadline by one month.[88] That October, the Board of Estimate approved plans for Lincoln West's street grid and voted to give Lincoln West Associates four additional months to obtain financing.[89] By then, public officials doubted that Lincoln West would ever be completed, amid continued opposition to the project.[90] Lincoln West Associates ultimately could not receive financing for the development, partly because of Macri's concessions to the city and partly because Trump was trying to retake control of the site.[91]

Television City

[edit]

Trump negotiated to repurchase Lincoln West in mid-1984; he initially decided against it[90] but ultimately made an offer for the site that November.[92] Trump announced in December 1984 that he would pay $95 million for the Lincoln West site;[93] this was part of a $115 million transaction that gave Trump control of the rail yard.[35] Under the agreement, Trump controlled 80% of the project, Elie Hirschfeld retained a 20% stake, and Francisco Macri gave up his interest in the project.[93] Trump initially anticipated constructing towers as tall as 60 stories, rather than a variety of low-rise buildings, as Lincoln West Associates had been proposed.[94] He hired the Chicago–based architect Helmut Jahn in January 1985 to design the as-yet-unnamed development on the site.[95] Trump, who called the Lincoln West tract "one of the best pieces of real estate in the country", contemplated erecting up to 8,000 apartments there.[96] He also wanted to build a supertall skyscraper, following two unsuccessful approvals to build such a tower at the New York Coliseum site and on Wall Street.[97]

Initial plan

[edit]

In November 1985, Trump announced plans for the Television City complex, which would feature a television studio headquarters.[98][99][100] The plan involved 7,900 apartments, along with retail, office, and television studio space.[99] A 150-story supertall tower would rise from the middle of the complex,[98][99] near 66th Street.[101] The skyscraper would have included 750 hotel rooms and 60 floors of residences,[102] and it would have been 1,670 feet (510 m) tall, making it the world's tallest building.[98] Several other towers, each 72[103] or 76 stories high, would flank the 150-story tower,[35][62][101] and there would be 3.6 million square feet (330,000 m2) of television studio space.[98][100][101] In addition, the development would have 8,500 parking spaces,[104] 40 acres (160,000 m2) of parkland, and 1.7 million square feet (160,000 m2) of retail space.[62][105] Shortly after the plans were announced, Trump and the media company NBC discussed the possibility of relocating NBC's headquarters from Rockefeller Center to Television City.[105][106][107] Trump met with other television networks as well, including ABC and CBS.[100][108] The urban planner Norman Levin, who had formerly worked for Gruzen, was in charge of 20 separate teams who were working on the project.[109]

Crain's New York called Trump's plan "the most ambitious development project ever in New York".[109] Goldberger wrote that Television City was "woefully simplistic" and that the towers' designs had only a tenuous relationship with the street grid.[110] New York Magazine's architecture critic Carter Wiseman agreed, writing "isolated towers", such as those proposed in Television City, "survive in most of the world's major cities as reminders to planners that this brand of angst-inducing exclusivity is nasty to live with".[111] Wiseman also said the development would cause overcrowding at the 72nd Street/Broadway station of the New York City Subway.[111] A writer for the New York Daily News described the buildings as "intimidating and psychologically disturbing, dwarfing everything that's human in scale".[112]

The proposal needed both a new EIS and a public review,[62][101] and Trump hired McKeown & Franz to conduct the EIS.[50] As such, construction could not start until 1987; Trump predicted that it would take five years to complete.[113] The project soon received large amounts of opposition.[114] Local residents expressed skepticism to the project,[113][115] citing its size and the fact that it targeted the upper middle class.[116] The Coalition Against Lincoln West called Television City "doubly excessive", dubbing it as even more extreme than the Lincoln West plan,[106] while other opponents were specifically against the 150-story tower.[108] Opponents ranged from small associations to the Westpride group,[50] the latter of which enlisted notable neighborhood residents and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund the effort.[35][117] Trump was initially reluctant to acquiesce to opponents' demands, fearing that doing so would endanger the development.[118] Trump tentatively agreed to sell Kumagai Gumi a 25% ownership stake in the development in 1986, but the agreement was rescinded due to disagreements over how much Kumagai Gumi was to pay.[119][120]

Changes in plans

[edit]

Even though Trump liked the original plans,[116] he ultimately decided to replace Jahn as Television City's master planner.[35][121] Jahn remained the architect for the proposed supertall tower.[122] In June 1986, he appointed Alexander Cooper as the site's new master planner;[121] Newsday described Cooper as having a "sensitivity to scale" that contrasted with Trump's bold style.[123] Trump and Cooper announced revised plans for Television City in October 1986.[124][125] Cooper reduced the 150-story tower to 136 stories;[104][125][126] according to Cooper, the supertall tower would include less floor area than the Sears Tower or either of the World Trade Center's twin towers.[102] The modified project still contained roughly the same amount of space, including 1.5 million square feet (140,000 m2) each of studio and retail space as well as 7,600 housing units. The six 72-story towers were replaced with slightly smaller, 45- to 57-story skyscrapers, which line one side of an avenue that would run north-south through most of the development.[125][126] The plan included fewer parking spaces and more parkland as well.[104]

Cooper's version of Television City still received criticism.[104][103][124] Peter Marcuse of Columbia University expressed doubts that the 150-story tower was economically feasible, and Kenneth Frampton, also of Columbia, described the building as "a violent irrelevancy".[102] By contrast, Goldberger described Cooper's design for the site as "vastly more sophisticated" than Jahn's plan,[127] and he wrote that Trump's decision to hire Cooper may have been part of Trump's efforts to ingratiate himself with the local community.[116]

By early 1987, Trump was negotiating to lease the entirety of the supertall skyscraper's office space to General Electric (GE), which at the time owned NBC.[128] Trump offered to sell the site to the New York State Urban Development Corporation and lease it back for 99 years.[129][130] In exchange, Trump would have received a 20-year[131][132] or 30-year tax abatement for Television City,[129] which would have been the highest-valued abatement ever granted in New York City.[131] Trump also offered to give the city government a portion of Television City's profits.[133][134] Despite widespread public support for Trump's tax abatement,[132] the city rejected Trump's proposal,[133][134] and Mayor Ed Koch offered the tax breaks directly to NBC instead of to Trump.[35][133] Negotiations between Trump and Koch devolved into name-calling;[135] Trump called on Koch to resign, and Koch compared Trump to "a stuck pig".[119][136] The plans called for 11 residential buildings, about 2 million square feet (190,000 m2) of office space, several parks, and a 152-story tower by mid-1987.[137] The department store chain Bloomingdale's negotiated to lease space in Television City as well.[138]

The project continued to face major opposition;[114] for example, Westpride raised over $20,000 at a late-1987 fundraiser opposing Television City.[139] Trump indicated that September that he wanted to sell NBC part of the Television City parcel for $20 million,[140] and he also tried to entice financial services firms to move there.[141] The Trump Organization also conducted a new EIS to appease opponents' concerns about Television City.[142] The new EIS, published in October 1987, found that the development would cast shadows on the neighborhood, overload local transportation infrastructure, and interfere with television broadcasts.[143] A local group known as the Parks Council commissioned a scale model of Television City, showing the shadows that the development would create.[114][144]

Renaming and further revisions

[edit]

At the end of October 1987, NBC decided against moving to Television City,[119][145][146] even as Trump Organization officials claimed that the EIS was close to being approved.[118] Politico reporter Michael Kruse wrote that the CPC likely would never have approved Trump City,[35] though David W. Dunlap of The New York Times wrote that much of the project might have indeed been approved.[147] Afterward, Trump initially planned to replace the television studio with a park or movie theater, even while preserving other aspects of the plans.[146] In February 1988, Trump announced a revised plan for the project, which was renamed Trump City. The TV studio space was replaced with parkland, two small office buildings were added, and 760 of the apartments were designated as affordable housing for the elderly.[148] The 150-story tower was retained, and there were to be 13 smaller towers.[149] Goldberger wrote that Trump had added the affordable housing units to increase the likelihood of getting community approval,[150] a sentiment shared by the project's opponents.[151] By October 1988, there was speculation that Trump might sell the site.[152] Despite receiving five offers, all for hundreds of millions of dollars,[153] Trump ultimately decided to keep the site.[154][155]

Westpride, which had 4,200 members at the end of 1988, continued to fight Trump City,[155][156] and local civic groups promised to sue the city government if Trump City were approved.[157] Community Board 7 and the Municipal Art Society jointly sponsored a study that recommended extending Riverside Park and the Manhattan street grid through the site.[158] To increase the development's floor area by 4.5 million square feet (420,000 m2),[159] Trump suggested transferring air rights from a 19-acre (7.7 ha) tract under the Hudson River to the rest of Trump City.[147][149][160] Further delays arose in 1989 when the city government investigated complaints that the Trump Organization was relocating possibly-contaminated dirt from Trump City to Fresh Kills Landfill.[160] Trump alleged that Koch's administration was delaying the review of the project's EIS.[161] In early 1990, Trump submitted a draft EIS to the New York City Council,[162] which called for the structures to be built in several phases.[163] Trump had spent nearly $200 million to date, even though construction had not started.[37] Chase Manhattan Bank, which had given Trump a mortgage loan on the site, expressed concerns that the loan could not be repaid,[164] and Trump was paying tens of millions of dollars a year just to maintain the site.[114][163]

Local civic groups filed a lawsuit in June 1990 to prevent the city government from rezoning the 60th Street Yard for the Trump City development.[165] The project was still opposed by groups such as the American Institute of Architects,[166] and local politicians called on the city government to buy the site from Trump.[167] Goldberger wrote that Trump City had turned into "a national symbol both of massive, overreaching development and of diehard community opposition to it".[168] In response, Trump hired an advertiser to promote the development to residents in the New York metropolitan area.[169] By that August, Trump had submitted three scaled-down plans for the site to the CPC.[170] In November 1990, a New York Supreme Court judge invalidated zoning permits that the CPC had granted to Trump City,[171] although the proposal was still undergoing public review as late as February 1991.[172]

Manhattan West and ABC proposals

[edit]

In 1985, the developer Daniel Brodsky acquired the land just east of the yard between 61st and 64th streets.[173] He proposed a development known as Manhattan West, which initially called for 1,375 apartments,[174] and he also wanted NBC to relocate to the site.[175] By 1987, his plans called for 1,200 affordable and luxury apartments across more than 1 million square feet (93,000 m2), in addition to 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) of parkland.[174][176] The apartments would have been located in an L-shaped building with several roofs measuring up to 39 stories high, as well as 28-story building to the south.[176] The CPC forced Manhattan West to conform to Television City's site plan, which included a block-wide park between 63rd and 64th streets extending east to West End Avenue.[126][177] A new version of the plan, with 1,000 apartments and only 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2), was proposed in 1989.[176] The Board of Estimate approved the revision in February 1990,[173] and work on Manhattan West began in 1994.[178][179]

Meanwhile, Brodsky had sold off the northernmost 2 acres (0.81 ha) of the Manhattan West site to Capital Cities/ABC in 1986.[180] By the 1990s, Capital Cities/ABC was planning to erect three 39-story residential buildings and several television studios.[181][182] The residential buildings, with a combined 930 units, would have been located from 64th to 65th streets, while the studios would have been located to the north.[180] Capital Cities/ABC's proposal was submitted for public review in 1992,[180] but Community Board 7 rejected the original plans.[183][184] Capital Cities/ABC then canceled one of the towers and downsized the project to 500 apartments.[183]

At the end of 1989, six civic organizations—the Municipal Art Society, Natural Resources Defense Council, New Yorkers for Parks, Regional Plan Association, Riverside Park Fund, and Westpride—proposed an alternative plan for the site,[185] devised by the engineer Daniel Gutman and the architect Paul Willen.[168][103] The plans called for residential project of 7.3 million square feet (680,000 m2).[168][186][187] The West Side Highway would be relocated underground to make room for a 23-acre (9.3 ha) expansion of Riverside Park,[187][188][189] and a new Riverside Boulevard would run above the relocated highway.[190] Trump was negotiating with these civic groups by the beginning of 1991,[191] and he formally abandoned plans for Trump City in March 1991.[186][189][192] The project was to have 8.3 million square feet (770,000 m2) of space in total.[192][193][194] These plans called for 5,500 apartments[189][193] and up to 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2) for television studios.[189][192] In addition, four artists were hired to design the complex's public spaces.[192] Goldberger referred to Trump's abandonment of the Trump City plans as a "miracle".[195]

Trump and the civic groups formed the Riverside South Planning Corporation (RSPC) to develop the project, which they called Riverside South.[35][114][196] Chase Manhattan Bank, which still held more than $200 million in mortgages on the site, initially paid all of RSPC's expenses.[197] In April 1991, the RSPC hired David Childs of SOM, along with Paul Willen, to oversee Riverside South's design.[196][198] A group of planners and architects, appointed by Manhattan borough president Ruth Messinger, recommended that the plans be downsized even further.[199] The RSPC unveiled a scale model of its proposal in August 1991, which called for several curved towers of up to 50 stories high.[200] By early 1992, RSPC chairman Richard Kahan said the tallest residential buildings would be 40 stories and be clustered at either end of the site.[181] There were to be 16 residential towers and two office towers.[201] Both the city and state governments of New York endorsed the project, even though Trump had not pledged funds to improve nearby subway stations, as local residents had requested.[197] Trump also did not want to add affordable housing units, saying it would be unprofitable to do so.[194]

Approval process and objections

In May 1992, the CPC granted the Riverside South project a certification, allowing the public review process to commence.[197][202] However, the project faced opposition because of its size, traffic issues, lack of affordable housing, and its association with Trump.[203] Some residents of Lincoln Towers, which adjoined the rail yard, opposed any development on the site.[187] Minor objections included the fact that the towers might block the west–facing windows of the Chatsworth apartment building on 72nd Street.[204][205] Residents of 71st Street, a dead end street, objected to the fact that their street would be extended to Riverside Boulevard.[206] A report commissioned for Community Board 7 found that Riverside South would overwhelm the neighborhood's transit infrastructure unless it was reduced to 4,300 apartments,[207] and the community board voted in July 1992 to recommend that the project not proceed.[208] Additionally, Messinger said she would not support the plans without further alterations.[114][209]

Following these objections, Trump agreed to slightly reduce the project's size, remove the office space, provide funds for the 72nd Street subway station, reserve 12% of the apartments for affordable housing, and build and maintain the new public park.[114][210] The RSPC agreed to extend 71st Street for pedestrians while preventing through vehicular traffic,[206] and setbacks were mandated on each of the buildings.[211] Messinger agreed to support the project after Trump acquiesced to the subway improvements, park, and affordable-housing units,[212][213] but other critics still strongly opposed the project.[214] U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler described the planned public park as a $10-million-per-acre ($25,000,000/ha) "private backyard for the people who live in these buildings".[215] Amid the opposition, Trump denied that he planned to sell the site.[213] To convince the CPC to approve his plans, Trump agreed to provide even more money for the 72nd Street subway station and designate 20% of the apartments as affordable housing.[216][211] Trump also agreed to extend Riverside Drive southward to alleviate congestion on West End Avenue.[217] The CPC approved the Riverside South plan in October 1992.[218] A New York City Council subcommittee approved the plan that November after Trump agreed to delay the television studios' development,[190][219] and the full City Council approved Riverside South the next month.[220]

The final project size was 6.1 million square feet (570,000 m2)—with an option for 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2) of television studios on the two southern blocks—as well as a park and improvements to the existing Freedom Place.[221] Goldberger wrote that the final plan "stands a real chance of being a cause for celebration rather than embarrassment."[200] The media estimated that Riverside South. Manhattan West, and the Capital Cities/ABC project would collectively house between 15,000 and 20,000 residents.[182][222] There was to be a 1-acre (0.40 ha) park at the confluence of the three developments.[222] The first phase of Riverside South called for four 18-to-40-story towers between 65th and 69th streets, with about 1,600 apartments.[223][224] Ultimately, the development was planned to include 16 buildings with 5,700 apartments, in addition to a 23-acre (9.3 ha) park and 1.8 million square feet of retail.[217][225]

By March 1993, Trump was applying for tax abatements and funding from the New York state government;[226] at the time, he owed the city $4.4 million in back taxes.[227] Philip Johnson was hired as one of the development's architects that November.[228] After the Riverside South plan was approved, Trump and proponents of Riverside South wanted the federal government to provide $80 million for the West Side Highway's relocation,[114] but this funding was delayed for several years.[215][229] Other opponents were upset by the decision to close the West Side Highway's northbound entrance and exit ramps at 72nd Street and fought to deny the highway project any funding.[230]

Meanwhile, during the mid-1990s, Chase Manhattan was pressuring Trump to repay the loan on the site,[231] and Trump wanted to refinance the project to pay the debt.[232] Colony Capital offered to buy the debt on Riverside South's loan in late 1993,[233][231] but these negotiations were unsuccessful.[234] Additional attempts at obtaining funding from American financiers were also unsuccessful,[231] and Trump said in early 1994 that he would apply for a loan from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.[235] He subsequently went to Hong Kong to negotiate with the businessman Henry Cheng.[236] The project was also involved in two lawsuits during this time,[231][237] one of which claimed that the project did not conform to Lincoln West's EIS.[114][238] The other lawsuit centered around sewage disposal;[114] at the time, Trump estimated that the development would generate 5 million U.S. gallons (19,000,000 L) of sewage a day, but he had not received permission to connect the development's sewage lines to the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant.[239]

Trump sold a controlling interest in the project in June 1994,[240][241][242] and a group of four developers from Hong Kong and mainland China, including New World Organization and Polylinks International, bought the controlling stake.[237] Polylinks paid Chase $90 million to settle the project's debt, plus $20 million in back taxes and other fees.[241] The group also committed to spending $2.5 billion on the project itself.[243] Cheng became Riverside South's primary financier and developer,[237][244] while Trump remained Riverside South's chief promoter.[242][245] Trump retained a 30% ownership stake in Riverside South,[246] which could be increased if he sold or rented a certain number of apartments.[247] The project was jointly developed by the Trump Organization and Hudson Waterfront Associates, the latter of which represented the Asian investors;[237] they hired feng shui consultants to provide advice on Riverside South's design.[248]

Though Riverside South's financial issues had been resolved, the lawsuits over the development were still pending.[231][237] Construction was delayed as the lawsuits were resolved and the economy recovered.[249] In February 1995, the city government resolved one of the legal disputes by allowing Trump to connect Riverside South's sewage line to the North River plant.[250] That June, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that the EIS for Riverside South had been conducted properly.[251] There was another controversy over the RSPC's plans to build a temporary playground between 70th and 72nd streets.[252] In the meantime, the new investors sought public financing.[114][253] Trump applied for a $355 million mortgage for Riverside South from the federal government;[254][255] if the mortgage were approved, up to 20% of the apartments would have been reserved for low-income or middle-income residents.[224] Trump was accused of paying off New York State Senate majority leader Joseph Bruno for approval,[255][256] and the project's opponents accused Trump of colluding with Mayor Rudy Giuliani on the mortgage application.[254] Nadler asked the Federal Housing Administration not to give a mortgage to Riverside South.[257]

Start of construction

[edit]

First structures

[edit]

Trump and New World Organization hired Lehrer McGovern Bovis as Riverside South's construction manager in April 1995;[258] the firm went on to build eight of Riverside South's towers.[259] Work was delayed for two more years.[260][261] In December 1996, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection granted Trump permission to connect the development's first structure to the treatment plant,[260] and Trump received private financing for that building.[261] After the city granted a construction permit in January 1997,[262] a shanty town nearby was removed the next month.[263] Trump also indicated that, due to opposition to the West Side Highway's relocation, he would postpone Riverside Park South's construction.[264][265] By mid-1997, Lehrer McGovern Bovis and HRH Construction were erecting the first two towers at 180 and 200 Riverside Boulevard,[266] which had a combined 990 apartments.[267] One hundred and four units at 180 Riverside were set aside for low-income households.[268] Trump was also negotiating to install a massive statue of the explorer Christopher Columbus at Riverside South.[269] Residents of Lincoln Towers continued to oppose the project, saying it would block their views of the Hudson River.[270] Another group of opponents sued to force Trump to construct Riverside Park South.[265]

During the construction of 200 Riverside Boulevard, a subcontractor used substandard concrete to construct columns supporting the fifth floor, ignoring warnings from the building's structural engineer.[271] The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) halted construction of the tower that November, after that tower had reached its 20th floor.[272] In addition, the first seven towers were exempt from the city's new seismic code due to a grandfather clause,[273] and two of the towers were also exempt from sprinkler regulations because they were shorter than 300 feet (91 m).[274] Work on 200 Riverside Boulevard resumed in January 1998 after the defective concrete was replaced.[275] By the middle of the year, the TV network CBS was negotiating to occupy studio space in Riverside South,[276] and New World was attempting to sell Riverside South's first two buildings.[277] The developers also rented out apartments at 180 Riverside Boulevard,[278] while Pace Advertising Agency was hired to market the apartments.[279] CBS ultimately decided against moving to Riverside South.[280]

By early 1999, several retailers were negotiating to move into the first two buildings,[281] and many of the condos and rental apartments were being leased out.[282][283] The first structures were initially branded as Trump Place.[284] New World and Trump placed a 9-acre (3.6 ha) tract between 59th and 61st streets for sale that May,[285] but they were unable to find a buyer.[286] In addition, work had commenced on a third building: a 33-story tower at 160 Riverside Boulevard.[287] Other developments, such as Tishman Speyer's 101 West End Avenue rental building, were also being built nearby.[288] The M72 bus was rerouted to serve the complex, prompting complaints from neighborhood residents.[289][290]

Early 2000s expansion

[edit]

By early 2000, work was about to begin on a fourth Trump Place building, a condo tower.[291] Later that year, Columbia University began negotiating to construct some buildings at the southern end of Trump Place.[292] Simultaneously, Trump developed a waterfront public park known as Riverside Park South.[293] Trump was required to expand the park as additional buildings were erected,[293][294] and he also had to preserve the 69th Street Transfer Bridge.[293][295] During the park's construction, complaints of sewage smells prompted the Trump Organization to replace 180 Riverside's pipes.[296] The park's first phase, which cost $14 million, unofficially opened in January 2001[5][297] and was dedicated that April.[298] Trump Place's real estate brokers, the Corcoran Group, reported higher-than-anticipated interest in the apartments, despite the development's relatively remote location.[299] Despite a slight downturn caused by the September 11 attacks later the same year, the apartments remained in high demand.[300] Also in 2001, Community Board 7 approved the addition of another park on Riverside Boulevard,[301] and the Federal Highway Administration approved the West Side Highway's relocation eastward.[302][303]

Although Trump ceased his active involvement in the development in 2001, he retained his 30% limited partnership.[304] The first retailer at Trump Place, a wine shop, opened in 2002,[305] four years after Trump had begun looking for retail tenants.[306] Trump planned to begin constructing the complex's sixth structure, 240 Riverside Boulevard, the same year,[307][308] which would have required the closure of the West Side Highway's 72nd Street exit ramp.[217] Work on 240 Riverside was delayed by opposition from residents of the neighboring Chatsworth Apartments, who feared the building would obstruct their windows,[290][307] as well as objections from local residents who wanted the 72nd Street exit ramp to remain open.[217][308] Despite the opposition, 240 Riverside was under construction by 2003.[217][309] A second segment of Riverside Park South opened that June,[310] and local residents attempted to preserve two burned piers within the park.[311] The city government agreed in early 2004 to close the 72nd Street exit ramp;[290][312] a state judge placed an injunction preventing the ramp's closure,[313] but an appeals court upheld the plans.[314] By the end of 2004, a seventh building at 120 Riverside Boulevard was being completed.[315] Due to legal disputes, the 72nd Street exit ramp remained open for three more years.[316]

Site resale and completion

[edit]

Carlyle and Extell takeover

[edit]

Trump and his partners sold Riverside South, excluding the finished condominiums, to the Carlyle Group and the Extell Development Company for $1.76 billion in June 2005.[317][318] The syndicate had beat out several other bidders including the Related Companies, Vornado Realty Trust, and the Durst Organization.[246] Carlyle obtained a 50% ownership stake in the project, while Extell took a 25% stake and sold the remaining 25% to an Irish development consortium.[319] Shortly afterward, Carlyle and Extell resold three rental apartment buildings to Equity Residential for $816 million.[320][321] Trump, who contended that the sale price was just over half what the property was worth, sued his partners,[33][322] but he lost.[323] The Corcoran Group also sued Trump, claiming that he had failed to pay sales commissions for apartments sold there.[324] Carlyle and Extell also attempted to sell the land between 59th and 61st streets[317] before withdrawing their plans in December 2005.[320] The seventh structure, 120 Riverside Boulevard, opened in early 2006,[325] and the developers began erecting the northbound West Side Highway tunnel between 62nd and 65th streets that year.[303][326] The third phase of Riverside Park South opened that August,[327] and the development's first supermarket also opened in 2006.[306]

In the mid-2000s, Extell developed the Avery condominium building at 100 Riverside Boulevard,[328] as well as the Rushmore nearby at 80 Riverside Boulevard.[329] The West Side Highway's 72nd Street exit finally closed in June 2007,[316] though the connection from Riverside Boulevard to Riverside Drive did not open for another four years.[330] A fourth section of Riverside Park South opened in 2008.[331] Thomas Balsley subsequently designed three more sections of the park.[332] In addition, Extell began developing the Aldyn condominium and a rental tower between 62nd and 63rd streets in early 2008,[333] and it received a $613 million loan to develop the towers.[334] The Avery was finished in 2008, followed by the Rushmore in 2009.[335] Amid weakening demand for condos at the Aldyn, Avery, and Rushmore, several prospective condo buyers sought to cancel their purchases.[336] Multiple would-be buyers at the Rushmore sued Carlyle and Extell in 2009 after the developers refused to refund their apartment deposits;[337] they received a $15 million refund after three years of litigation.[338] Extell filed plans for 40 Riverside Boulevard (later One Riverside Park), just north of Riverside Center, in 2009,[339] and Hill West Architects was hired to design a 33-story building on that site.[339][340]

Riverside Center and Waterline Square

[edit]

The southernmost section of Riverside South, which had been set aside for television studios, needed to be rezoned before residential structures could be built there.[341] In October 2008, Extell proposed constructing Riverside Center, a set of five mostly residential towers between 59th and 61st streets, to complete the development.[342] Originally, Christian de Portzamparc was hired to design the buildings.[342][343] Riverside Center, covering 3.1 million square feet (290,000 m2), was modeled on the design of Battery Park City,[344] with 2,500 residential units, retail, a cinema, a K-5 school, a hotel, and open space.[345] The first site, known as site 2, would have contained 616 apartments and a school.[346] Local residents quickly organized in opposition to the plans; among other things, they objected to the presence of 1,800 parking spaces and an automobile dealership.[347] In mid-2010, Community Board 7 voted to recommend that the city government disapprove the plans for Riverside Center,[348] and Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer also refused to accept the plans.[349] In response, Extell agreed to add school space and affordable housing,[350] and it also agreed to improve parks in the area.[351]

The City Council approved Riverside Center's towers in December 2010,[352] following a protracted dispute over the zoning.[353] Extell hired Dattner Architects to design Riverside Center's school.[354] Carlyle Group solicited bids for the development of the five Riverside Center sites, inviting Extell to submit a bid.[341] Dermot Realty Management Company won the bid to develop site 2,[341] and the company bought the site in December 2012 for $70 million.[355] Dermot also hired SLCE Architects to design the building at site 2, replacing de Portzamparc as the architect there.[341][343] Silverstein Properties and El-Ad Group paid $160 million in 2013 for One West End Avenue, one of the five sites in the Riverside Center project.[356] Silverstein and El-Ad's site became the One West End condominium building, while Dermot's site became the 21 West End Avenue rental building.[357]

In 2014, Extell announced plans for the remaining three sites in Riverside Center,[358] and Collegiate School announced plans for a 10-story campus building at 301 Freedom Place South.[359] Extell never developed the remaining Riverside Center sites. General Investment and Development Companies (GID) bought the site at 400 West 61st Street in May 2015,[360] and GID bought additional land at 20 Riverside Boulevard that November.[345] GID bought the remaining tract at Riverside Center in December 2015.[345][361] The project became Waterline Square, which was completed in 2020;[362] the Waterline Square project includes three towers with 1,132 total units.[363] Richard Meier & Partners, Kohn Pedersen Fox, and Rafael Viñoly designed the three Waterline Square towers.[364]

2010s to present

[edit]

Extell began soliciting applications in 2015 for the 55 affordable-housing units at One Riverside Park; more than 80,000 people applied.[365] Silverstein and El Ad began selling the condos at One West End the same year,[366] and Dermot also began renting out units at 21 West End Avenue.[367]

Prior to 2016, six of the Riverside South buildings had signs reading "Trump Place" on their facades.[368] After Trump won the 2016 United States presidential election, the residents of 140, 160, and 180 Riverside Boulevard voted to remove the Trump Place signage from their respective structures.[369] Many of these residents had been politically opposed to Trump and had signed petitions in favor of the removal of the Trump name.[370] The Trump signage was removed from 200 Riverside Boulevard in October 2018 after that building's residents also voted to remove the signs.[371] The Trump signage was also removed from the facade of 120 Riverside Boulevard in 2019;[372] this was followed shortly afterward by the removal of Trump signage on 220 Riverside Boulevard, the final building in the complex that still bore the Trump Place name.[368][373]

Riverside Park South's fifth phase opened in 2020.[374] A&E Real Estate bought 140 Riverside Boulevard in 2022 for $266 million,[375] and that firm paid another $415 million for 160 Riverside Boulevard the same year.[376]

Buildings

[edit]
Street view of Riverside South buildings

Overall, the development consists of 19 apartment buildings, condominiums, and lease properties.[377] As of 2012, the buildings housed a combined 8,000 people; the area was collectively called "Riverside Boulevard" after its main street, or "The Strip" after its long, narrow shape. Six more towers with a combined 3,000 units, as well as a school, a hotel, retail and restaurant space, and space for a movie theater, had yet to be completed. A 3.4-acre (1.4 ha) park between the buildings was in the planning stages.[377] The towers were constructed as green buildings.[378] Each structure's facade has a setback no higher than 125 to 150 feet (38 to 46 m) from the street; this was intended to reduce the buildings' visual impact.[282]

Housing types

[edit]

Most living units in Riverside South are high-end housing, costing at least $2,000 per square foot (22,000/m2).[377] Per-foot real estate prices for Riverside South housing rose 66% from 2004 to 2014, compared with a 43% increase in real estate on the Upper West Side overall.[357] For instance, baseball player Alex Rodriguez bought a 39th-floor Rushmore condominium for $5.5 million in March 2011, then sold it for $8 million in January 2012.[377]

At the same time, 12% to 20% of the units will be designated as affordable, as required by the CPC approval of the project.[379] However, some buildings in the development, such as One Riverside Park, came under controversy for having separate entrances for affordable-housing residents,[380][381] despite the legality of such "poor doors" in mixed-housing buildings.[382]

Trump and Hudson Waterfront Associates built the first seven buildings at Riverside South.[335][377] Three additional buildings were completed by Extell: the Avery, the Rushmore, and the Aldyn.[335][403] To attract families, Extell added various amenities to these three buildings, including playrooms, a bowling alley, a basketball court, and other sports facilities.[404] The southern end of the development includes the 362-unit One West End condominium building, as well as a 616-unit rental building at 21 West End Avenue.[357]

Parks

[edit]

Riverside Park South

[edit]
The Little Engine Playground in Riverside Park South

The 25-acre (10 ha) Riverside Park South is an extension of Riverside Park[168] and is funded by fees paid by Riverside South's residents.[405] Phase 1, a 7-acre (2.8 ha) section from 72nd to 68th Streets, was opened in April 2001.[298] Pier I at 70th Street, part of the railyard, was rebuilt; it maintains its original length of 795 feet (242 m), but is narrower than originally, at 55 feet (17 m).[406] Phase 2 comprises a waterfront section from 70th Street to 65th Street and opened in June 2003.[310] It has two plazas at 66th and 68th Streets, as well as a jagged waterfront.[407] Phase 3, opened in August 2006,[327] stretches from 65th to 62nd streets on the waterfront. [407] Phase 4 opened in 2008 along the waterfront, extending from 63rd to 59th streets (overlapping with phase 3).[331] A new mixed-use bikeway and walkway was also built through the park, linking Hudson River Park with Riverside Park.[408]

The design of phases 5 and 6, located east of the elevated highway viaduct, was partly tied to the fate of the highway relocation.[303] Relocating the highway will require some reconstruction of the park.[409] A fifth phase of Riverside Park South opened in October 2020, encompassing the land east of the West Side Highway from 65th to 68th streets.[374] The city plans to expand the park with new baseball and soccer fields, bikeways, lawns, picnic areas, and restrooms.[410]

The park contains site-specific sculptures, railway ruins, gardens, a waterfront promenade, and a walkway.[411] Portions of the former rail yard, such as the New York Central Railroad 69th Street Transfer Bridge, were incorporated into the new park.[14][407][408] The transfer bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[412] Nearly a dozen rail yard ruins, such as a burnt warehouse frame, were ultimately integrated into the park.[408] As a reminder of the location's history, New York Central Railroad logos are engraved onto park benches.[408] A wooden pier named Pier D was originally preserved as part of the park,[413] but it was demolished in 2011 due to extreme deterioration.[414]

Other parks

[edit]

A block away, on West End Avenue, a privately owned park has a remnant of a stone wall, as a remaining part of the embankment that dated to 1847. Construction workers had unearthed the stones during construction in 1994; some stones were salvaged for the new park during the four-day construction hiatus for archaeological excavation.[2]

Manhattan Community Board 7 members blamed Trump for failing to build the proposed enhancement and monument at Freedom Place. However, the Riverside South Planning Corporation said that the Freedom Place plan was merely a concept for an arts program that was not included in the final project.[221]

A street called Freedom Place South, along the same axis as Freedom Place, runs southward from 64th to 59th streets, where the IRT Powerhouse and Riverside Center building are located.[415] Adjacent to the Powerhouse, and visible from Freedom Place South, is a tetrahedron-shaped building at 625 West 57th Street, also known as VIA 57 West.[416] In addition, there is an unused tunnel underneath a portion of Riverside Boulevard between 62nd and 65th streets, which was intended to carry traffic from the West Side Highway.[303] The tunnel measures approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) long and 40 feet (12 m) wide.[326]
