The new tower adds 357 units, with 104 earmarked for employees of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
The biggest reason is the large-scale, two-decades endeavor known as Riverwalk, which has brought more than 4,000 new residents to eight new buildings north of the bridge.
The new tower’s amenities include a 5,000 square-foot, panoramic rooftop terrace with dining and screening rooms, a fitness center and other facilities. Riverwalk brought much-needed, new residential life to the island north of the 59th Street Bridge and the Tramway, just as the Cornell Tech complex brought science and services to the vacant land between the bridge and Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park at the southern tip.
Kramer said, “We had some concerns at first. Would this turn out to be a quagmire? At the time, Roosevelt Island had no real market-rate housing and the buildings then were in the Brutalist style popular in the 1970s. Would people want to come and live here?” The firms handle industries including consumer, tech, climate, education, healthcare, real estate and travel.
