The second phase of the massive seven-building River Park master plan, a billion-dollar transformation of the former Long Island College Hospital site in Cobble Hill, was revealed today. Jonathan Landau, CEO of Fortis, said, “River Park is a rising neighborhood comprising of seven unique properties within the heart of Cobble Hill, spanning nearly one million square feet….River Park will bring an international private K-12 school and a state-of-the-art medical facility built and operated by New York University Langone Health to Cobble Hill.” Indeed, River Park will be one of the largest transformations since the unveiling of Hudson Yards.
Phase one of River Park is already 80% sold. In the second phase, the first three new towers, 1 River Park, 2 River Park and 5 River Park will be built. Sales at 5 River Park, which was designed by Douglas Romines, begin today. According to Mr. Romines, “5 River Park is designed with traditional materials common to Cobble Hill, including brick, limestone, and ornamental metalwork. The building’s facades will be well-proportioned, with depth and relief, while integrating contemporary details.”
