Developing Brooklyn: The Riverie

Brooklyn, NY Developed by Lendlease, The Riverie is an all-electric residential development along the Greenpoint waterfront. The project will comprise 834 residential rental units, 30% of which (251 units) have been designated as affordable housing under the Affordable New York Housing Program. Furthering the vibrancy of the waterfront and Greenpoint streetscape, The Riverie will feature approximately 14,000 s/f of ground-level retail space. Pre-leasing is slated for summer 2025, and in fall 2025, the first residents are scheduled to move in. 

A newly created public waterfront esplanade reestablishes the neighborhood’s direct connection to the East River. Directly accessible from the esplanade, NYC Ferry service from the India St. Pier offers residents a five-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan. 

With an emphasis on sustainability, The Riverie will be the largest residential geothermal building in New York State, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The Riverie’s vertical closed-loop geoexchange system will reduce annual carbon emissions from heating and cooling by 53% compared with typical residential systems. The Riverie will meet or exceed New York City’s Local Law 97 decarbonization legislation and Local Law 154 building electrification legislation, along with targeting LEED Gold, WEDG Waterfront, Fitwel and Energy Star certifications.
