This Unprecedented Waterfront Development Designed by Rafael Viñoly, Richard Meier, and Kohn Pedersen Fox Boasts a New 2.6-Acre Park and Over 100,000 Square Feet of Amenities

GID Development Group announced the commencement of sales today for its highly anticipated 2.2 million-square-foot, three-tower condominium mega-development, Waterline Square. Designed by world-renowned architects Richard Meier & Partners Architects, Viñoly Architects, and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), the development is located on one of the last remaining waterfront sites in Manhattan, between West 59th Street and West 61st Street along the Hudson River.

“Waterline Square presented us with an exceptionally rare opportunity to develop a project of this magnitude,” said James Linsley, President of GID Development Group. “We wanted to offer future residents a living experience that is unlike any other location in New York City — which means access to architectural landmarks, green spaces, and an unmatched set of amenity offerings — all set within a new neighborhood that will be completed at one time.”

Waterline Square represents an unprecedented approach to urban living. Developed concurrently, each glass building will be distinct, while gesturing to each other harmoniously. With a total of 263 condominiums, starting on or above the 20th floor of each building, residences will offer sky-high river and city views set within a serene park setting.

One Waterline Square, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, commands a full city block with an undulating glass and metal façade. At the top of the building, elegantly proportioned residences are graced with high ceilings, enormous banks of windows, and a rich selection of hand-selected materials available in either a white or natural finish palette. Well known for five-star hotel designs, internationally renowned Champalimaud Design has designed the glamorous and chic interiors that perfectly complement Meier’s light-filled architecture.

Two Waterline Square, designed by the masters of glass towers, KPF, has created impressively scaled architecture that is accentuated by a series of cascading terraces at the top, and a gracious porte-cochère arrival at ground level. High ceilings and oversized windows frame the remarkable water and skyline views, with interiors designed by famed hospitality firm Yabu Pushelberg. The bright interiors are enhanced by a rich selection of natural materials throughout, providing a truly refined sense of home.

Three Waterline Square, designed by lauded architect Rafael Viñoly, is adorned with a spectacular faceted and angled façade where residences are characterized by gently sloping exterior walls, surrounded by views of the water, park, and skyline. With interiors by Groves & Co., named one of Architectural Digest’s top 100 designers, indulgent contemporary materials offer stylish comfort and celebrate the captivating architecture.

“Waterline Square offers a coveted riverfront location and an abundance of parks, both exceptional luxuries in Manhattan that top the wish lists of buyers,” said Kelly Kennedy Mack, President of Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, exclusive marketing and sales agent for Waterline Square. “This mega-development offers one of the most comprehensive lifestyle experiences ever conceived in New York, and Waterline Square is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated openings of 2017.”

In addition to enjoying breathtaking sunsets from residences, the three buildings will surround a new beautifully landscaped park at the heart of the development. Spanning nearly three acres, the Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects-designed space features a stunning landscape that encompasses tree-lined groves, open grass areas, walking paths, a playground, fountains, and other water features.

Connecting One, Two, and Three Waterline Square is the Waterline Club — a truly extraordinary collection of indoor amenities available to all residents. Designed by David Rockwell’s famed hospitality group, Rockwell Group, the Waterline Club offers thoughtfully programmed sports and fitness, swim and spa, leisure and social, creative, children and pets spaces.

Providing the ultimate lifestyle experience, The Waterline Club features 90,000 square feet of premium amenities linked together with sculpted walking bridges that dramatically traverses a one-of-a-kind great room. Waterline Square’s sports and fitness selections include an indoor tennis court, a first in a New York City residential building, a squash court, 30-foot rock climbing wall, indoor half-pipe skate park, golf simulator, full-court basketball, indoor soccer field, state-of-the-art fitness center, and pilates, boxing and yoga/barre studios. Residents can quietly relax and indulge in swim and spa areas complete with a 25-meter, 3-lane lap pool, separate children’s pool, hot tub, steam rooms, and saunas.

Additional amenities designed for leisure and social activities include a bowling alley, games lounge, cards parlor, screening room, party rooms, and catering kitchen. Meanwhile, creative amenities will be provided such as an art studio, music and recording studio, video and photography studio, and indoor gardening. For younger family members there will be a massive 4,600-square-foot children’s indoor playroom designed by award-winning museum designer Roto Group that includes a toddler’s play area and children’s party room. Never to forget furry friends, an indoor playroom, washing station, and training studio are also available for dogs.

Waterline Square will complete the historic transformation of Riverside Boulevard that has spanned more than two decades on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Waterline Square is conveniently located just steps away from some of the best green spaces, restaurants, shopping, and cultural institutions that New York City has to offer including, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Columbus Circle, Central Park and Hudson River Park. Hudson River Park offers miles of open space, sports fields, playgrounds, plazas, piers, and intimate gardens that can be easily accessed by residents.

Prices start at approximately $2 million and the development anticipates a 20-year tax abatement. The sales gallery is located at 475 West 61st Street in Manhattan.
