200 Riverside Boulevard: Review and Ratings

Review of 200 Riverside Boulevard by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 46-story condominium apartment tower at 200 Riverside Boulevard between 69^th and 70^th Streets was completed in 1999 as one of the major buildings in Donald Trump's enormous redevelopment, known as Trump Place, of the former rail yards at the south end of Riverside Park.

It was designed by Philip Johnson and has 377 apartments.

Bottom Line

This full-service Trump building offers vistas of the Hudson River as well as many fine views of the Upper West Side and midtown.

Description

The tower rises at the north end of its large base. The taller tower just to the north, 220 Riverside Boulevard, an orange-brick tower with a circular top that was designed by Costas Kondylis and erected in 2003, has its tower rising from the south end of its large base. The asymmetrical positioning of the towers on their bases creates an interesting skyline modulation.

There is a very handsome pier that extends, with sinuous curves, about 750 feet into the river close to this building.

Amenities

The building has a concierge, a doorman, a live-in superintendent, a garage, a health club with swimming pool, a children’s playroom, a game room, basement storage and central air-conditioning.  It is pet friendly.
