RiverSpring Living's Bold Vision for Senior Living
In a significant step towards revolutionizing senior living in New York City, RiverSpring Living has officially broken ground on River's Edge, a contemporary life plan community tailored for older adults. This landmark initiative marks NYC's first and only Life Plan Community, emphasizing a holistic approach to aging with dignity and vibrancy.
A New Home by the Hudson
Situated on a sprawling 32-acre campus along the picturesque Hudson River and just minutes from the bustling heart of Manhattan, River's Edge aims to redefine the lifestyle options available to individuals aged 62 and above. The community promises not just a residence but a luxurious living experience complemented by world-class amenities that cater to the diverse needs of its residents.
River's Edge will introduce high-end apartment residences that seamlessly blend elegance with comfort. Each unit is designed with the modern senior in mind, ensuring ample space and convenience without sacrificing style. This commitment to quality extends to the communal areas, which will provide a resort-style atmosphere where residents can socialize, engage in recreational activities, and maintain their wellness.
A Continuum of Care
One of the standout features of River's Edge is its designation as a Life Plan Community. This model ensures that residents receive a continuum of care tailored to their evolving needs as they age. From independent living to assisted living and skilled nursing services, River's Edge is designed to adapt to the characteristics of aging while providing peace of mind and financial security for its residents.
Jeffrey S. Maurer, Chairman of the RiverSpring Living Board of Trustees, emphasized the significance of this groundbreaking. He stated, "This marks not just the beginning of construction, but the fruition of a visionary plan on how older adults can live with autonomy and liveliness. River's Edge will serve as the next chapter in our over century-long commitment to serving seniors and their evolving expectations."
The Future of Aging
David V. Pomeranz, President and CEO of RiverSpring Living, shared insights into the community's inspirational purpose. "River's Edge will redefine aging in New York City, presenting a dynamic lifestyle in an environment that combines luxury and supportive care. Our goal is to ensure that as health needs shift, our residents have access to a nurturing and stimulating community."
As construction progresses, occupancy is projected for December 2028, marking a vital milestone in enhancing housing options for older adults in the city. The thoughtfully curated amenities aim to foster connections, promote wellness, and encourage lifelong learning, embodying the values that have established RiverSpring Living as a trusted leader in aging services.

River's Edge will include:
- - A wellness concierge suite, staffed by medical professionals from NewYork-Presbyterian.
