A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at Riverhouse would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
Riverhouse at 2 River Terrace is the LEED Gold-certified Battery Park City condominium that houses Poets House and 92nd Street Y Tribeca — and was the building Robert De Niro chose to live in. Per and coverage, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tyra Banks have also been residents.
Design authorship is the starting point: the Polshek Partnership (now Ennead) architectural pedigree, paired with David Rockwell interiors, carries the same hand responsible for the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History, and a substantial institutional portfolio. Rare among Battery Park City residential, that architecture also shelters Poets House and 92nd Street Y Tribeca as in-building cultural anchors. The address has likewise drawn a trophy cultural resident roster — Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio (former), and Tyra Banks (former).
Architecture and building operations
Polshek's 2007 design produced a 32-story south tower with 13-14-story wings at 2 River Terrace, Battery Park City. The building houses Poets House (the national poetry library) and the former 92nd Street Y Tribeca branch — uncommon institutional and cultural anchors at the residential level.
LEED Gold certification anchors the sustainability credential. The 263-264-unit configuration distributes across the tower and wings.
Operations: 24-hour doorman; concierge; fitness center; spa; landscaped roof terrace; private storage. The David Rockwell interior design produces premium residential register.

Common charges plus real estate taxes, combined into one monthly figure the way New York condominium listings show them. Add a mortgage payment for the monthly outlay. The split into common charges and taxes comes from the listings that also give the annual tax, a different sample, so the two lines need not add up exactly to the combined median; a tax abatement can hold taxes below the full amount until it expires. A summary of recorded sales and listings, not a current bill; charges change.

The latest available filing classified the facade as SWARMP — Safe With A Repair and Maintenance Program: the engineer identified conditions requiring monitoring or repair, with repairs due by the deadline stated in the filing. The scope, timeline, and how the building funds the work are building-specific — we review the filings and board materials for you.
How to read this, and where it comes from
QEWI = Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector — the licensed engineer the city requires to sign the report (the independent expert, not the managing agent).
Penalties shown are amounts DOB assessed against filings on record across 2015–20 to 2020–25. The FISP dataset does not record whether they were paid, contested or remain open, so treat the figure as history rather than a current balance and confirm the building’s standing with the managing agent.

Market read. Most recent trades (2026 to date) cleared a median $1,738/sf (floor-adjusted) across 6 sales. Floor-adjusted means each sale is restated to a constant mix of floors, so the figure can differ from the plain median of the sales listed above. Median listing discount 2.7% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
