Master
Plan
Riverside South New York, New York
1986-2002
After years of opposition
to Donald
Trump’s proposed Television City, six civic
groups promoted an alternative
development plan which was ultimately
agreed to by the developer.
Westpride, chaired by Mr. Robinson,
the Municipal Arts Society, Natural
Resources Defense Council, The Parks
Council, Regional Plan Association and the
Riverside Park Fund joined with the Trump
Organization to form the Riverside South
Planning Corporation (RSPC).
The RSPC is a unique partnership of
private, civic and environmental
groups planning the largest undeveloped
track of land in Manhattan: 76 acres along
one-half mile of the Hudson River
waterfront. The Civic Alternative plan
includes 5,500 mixed income apartments
and 300,000 square feet of ground floor
retail space. The plan includes rigorous
design controls and sustainable
development standards. It also hosts a 21
acre park, New York’s largest planned
public open space since the late 1800’s.
