The Rushmore at 80 Riverside Boulevard is one of the waterfront condominiums that completed the long, contested transformation of the old Penn Central rail yards into Riverside South. The site traces back to plans Donald Trump first optioned in 1974, which evolved across two decades — from "Television City" to "Trump City" — through heavy community opposition and Trump's 1990s financial troubles, before a compromise produced "Riverside South": six waterfront towers branded Trump Place, a new winding Riverside Boulevard, and a Hudson-front park. In 2005, The Carlyle Group and Extell Development Company bought a large tract and three buildings from the Hong Kong investors and Trump for $1.76 billion, and Extell developed the newer, non-Trump-branded waterfront condominiums on that land — The Rushmore among them, completed in 2008.
It is worth being precise about identity, because the Riverside South buildings are easy to confuse. The Rushmore is 80 Riverside Boulevard. Its sister building, The Aldyn, is a separate tower at 60 Riverside Boulevard; The Avery (100 Riverside) and One Riverside Park (50 Riverside) are also Extell buildings on the same legacy land. The Rushmore sits on the former Trump/Riverside South site but is an Extell building, not a Trump-branded one.
Architecturally, The Rushmore is a Costas Kondylis twin-tower design — 42 stories, glass and masonry, roughly 271 residences from one- to five-bedrooms, with six ground-level duplexes and full-floor penthouses crowning each tower. The product is straightforward waterfront new development: full-service operations, a deep amenity stack anchored by the La Palestra wellness center, an attached garage, and direct proximity to Riverside Park and the Hudson greenway. For buyers who want a modern, amenity-rich building on the water without the carrying cost of the absolute trophy tier, the Riverside South condominiums occupy a clear and well-priced niche.
Architecture and unit composition
The 42-story twin-tower building is a glass-and-masonry design by Costas Kondylis & Partners, set directly on the Riverside South waterfront. The roughly 271 residences run from one- through five-bedroom layouts, with six duplex homes at the ground level and full-floor penthouses atop each tower. Western exposures capture Hudson River and Riverside Park views; the building's waterfront position is its defining feature.
The Rushmore was financed alongside its sister building The Aldyn under a single large construction loan, and the two buildings share the Extell/Carlyle development lineage on the Riverside South land.
Building operations
The Rushmore operates as a full-service, amenity-rich condominium. Service includes a 24-hour doorman and concierge. The amenity program is led by the La Palestra wellness center with an indoor swimming pool, alongside a fitness and health club, a children's recreation area and indoor playground, a screening room, a billiards and game room, and an attached parking garage accessible from inside the building. Common charges and property taxes reflect a full-service waterfront condominium; buyers should model the full monthly carry.
Recent sales
The Rushmore prices in the premium Riverside South waterfront tier, on a per-square-foot basis as is standard for condominiums. Recent closed sales have averaged roughly $1,591 per square foot, with active asking prices averaging around $1,680 per square foot; individual closings have ranged from roughly $1,200 to $1,675 per square foot, with whole-unit prices commonly in the $2–4.2 million range and penthouses higher. Exposure (river-facing versus interior), floor, and outdoor space drive meaningful spread, so per-square-foot comparables should be read at the apartment line. The deep, roughly 271-unit stack and active resale market make recent comparable closings a reliable anchor for pricing. Specific velocity figures should be confirmed against current data at the time of any transaction.

What to know if you’re buying
It is a waterfront new-development condo. Direct Riverside Park and Hudson proximity, full-service operations, and a deep amenity stack — at a per-square-foot tier below the absolute trophy buildings.
The amenity program is substantial. La Palestra wellness center with indoor pool, fitness club, children's playroom, screening room, game room, and an attached garage.
Identity matters for diligence. The Rushmore is 80 Riverside Boulevard; The Aldyn (60 Riverside) is a separate building. Make sure comparables are pulled for the correct tower.
The building is pet-friendly.
Condominium flexibility applies. Pied-à-terre and investment use are permitted under the declaration; 30–45 day closings are typical. Confirm minimum down payment and sublet terms at offer stage.
Carrying cost is material. Model common charges, property taxes, utilities, and insurance together.
What to know if you’re selling
Lead with the waterfront and the amenities. River views, the park, and the La Palestra program are the central selling points.
Pricing is apartment-specific. Position against recent comparable-line closings; exposure and floor drive the spread.
Closing timelines are condominium-fast. 30–45 days from contract to closing.
