Waterline Square
10 / 30 Riverside Boulevard; 639 West 59th Street, New York, NY 10069
Waterline Square is a $2.3 billion three-tower three-architect three-interior-designer luxury condominium-and-rental complex at the final phase of the Riverside South plan. The structural identity rests on three features.
First, the three-architect three-interior-designer strategy — unusual in NYC residential development. Per James Linsley, GID president: the buildings are "almost like cousins...They communicate with each other architecturally" (Wall Street Journal). Towers: Richard Meier & Partners (One Waterline) with Champalimaud Design; Kohn Pedersen Fox (Two Waterline) with Yabu Pushelberg; Rafael Viñoly (Three Waterline) with Groves & Co. Second, the Waterline Club — a 100,000-square-foot, three-level underground amenity center designed by Rockwell Group, including indoor tennis court, squash court, 30-foot rock-climbing wall, half-pipe skate park, golf simulator, indoor soccer field, 25-meter 3-lane lap pool, children's pool, two-lane bowling alley, gardening studio, recording studio, cards parlor, games lounge, screening room, and pilates, boxing, and yoga studios. Curbed included the Waterline Club on its 2017 list of "the most outrageous amenities at NYC apartments." Third, the 2.6-acre Waterline Square Park by Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects atop the amenity center.
