Carter’s Review

"This attractive, 19-story building at 531 Main Street on Roosevelt Island was erected in 1975 and has 375 co-operative apartments.  It is known as Rivercross and was one of the first four residential buildings to be erected on the East River island.  It was erected as a rental and became the first privatized co-operative on the island in 2014.  The vote was 314 in favor of privatization and only 35 against.  The other three buildings were Island House, Eastwood and Westview and the four were often referred to as the WIRE group.

It was designed by Johanson & Bhavnani."

Broker & Buyer Comments

This "highly desirable" full-service co-op earns raves for its "impeccably maintained" premises and "high-end amenities," including a "fully-equipped, two-level fitness facility" and in-house swimming pool. Residents praise the "spacious apartments" and "fabulous views," while the "agreeable and helpful staff" and "active community" create an engaging atmosphere. The "beautifully furnished common terrace" overlooking landscaped gardens adds to the appeal of this "well-managed" building that "pays careful attention to infrastructure."

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
