RIVERHOUSE, ONE ROCKEFELLER PARK: HIGHEST DOLLAR VOLUME
This year, the island’s greenest waterfront condo welcomed Leonardo
DiCaprio and Tyra Banks amongst its new residents, all attracted to the
quality of life at Riverhouse. “I like to mention that a river runs through it, not a
highway,” says VP of Sales Elizabeth Unger, noting that “other Manhattan
buildings claim to be waterfront, but are separated from the river by traffic.”
While the hottest months slow the general market, not so at Riverhouse. “We
did a lot of deals over the summer,” says Justin D’Adamo, sales director.
“That’s when the lifestyle of Battery Park City really comes to life.” Seventy-five-percent sold, immediate occupancy; 212.587.1200 or the-riverhouse.com.

Both teams are well poised for success in the coming year. Justin
D’Adamo explains, “Flight to value is a reality right now, and
Riverhouse has inherent, timeless value in its sweeping river views.” The
building’s LEED-gold certification makes it a market-leading investment for many years to come.
At 75 Wall, Larry Kruysman has confidence in 2009, reminding
purchasers of today’s highly unique conditions: Many developers are
negotiating for the first time in years and interest rates are at
historic lows. “When the market has fully stabilized, buyers will no longer
enjoy the benefits of both, making now the right time to buy.”
