As New York buyers grapple with the desire for more living space, budgetary realities force some to look to the outer reaches of the outer boroughs or even New Jersey. However, Roosevelt Island offers spectacular city views, easy access to central areas of Manhattan and Astoria, and a growing number of amenity-rich residential developments at attainable prices. The latest entrant in this market is Westview, a 19-story, 360-unit cooperative at 595-625 Main Street coming off an extensive renovation. The first round of sales is now underway.
A number of units in the building have already entered contract, and remaining availabilities start at $570K for studios, $940K for two-bedrooms, and $1.36 million for three-bedrooms. By virtue of the fact that these are sponsor units, no board approval is required for these co-ops.

The conversion was steered by WV Preservation Partners, LLC. Managing member David Hirschhorn brings experience with Roosevelt Island to this project, having led the development of its sister building, condop Island House. Availabilities here range from $552K for a one-bedroom to $1.35 million for a four-bedroom.

Apartments range in size from 720 to 1,850 square feet, and select units have private outdoor space. The interiors have been updated to feature wide-plank hardwood floors, kitchens with custom cabinetry and Viking appliances, marble baths, in-unit washer/dryers, and built-in closets throughout. Westview’s amenity package is also undergoing a renovation, and will offer a gym, indoor pool, lounge, and Great Lawn. Additional conveniences include full-time doorman service, a package room, a bike room, and high-speed internet. Pets are welcome.
Westview is situated in the center of Roosevelt Island, between Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park and Lighthouse Park. Between Blackwell House, the Smallpox Memorial Hospital, and the landmarked medical building at 888 Main Street (now The Octagon, a LEED Silver-certified luxury rental), Roosevelt Island is rich in history. Meanwhile, Cornell Tech’s uber-sustainable campus, which includes the world’s tallest Passive House residence, is a model for the future.
Nearby conveniences include schools, grocery stores, restaurants, and the recently opened Graduate Hotel. Public transportation options include the F train, NYC Ferry, and Roosevelt Island tramway. For those who’d rather walk, bike, or drive, the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge offers access to Manhattan, and the Roosevelt Island Bridge offers access to Astoria.
