Extell Development Company plans to develop Riverside Center, an 8-acre site located in Manhattan's Riverside South neighborhood, into a world-class destination anchored by distinctive architecture, 3 acres of open space including lawns and a central water feature, new retail and restaurants, a public school, and a hotel. Pritzker Prize winning architect Christian de Portzamparc is designing Riverside Center to draw on the area's historic past while establishing a new future for the waterfront. Riverside Center aims to enhance the growing Riverside South neighborhood and serve as a gateway to Riverside Park South and the Hudson River.
