An eye-catching new construction high rise (it was built in 2001), 22 River Terrace is instantly recognizable the distinctive red-brick facade and imposing 27-story height ensure as much. There's much more to this luxury rental building than the view from street level would suggest.

22 River Terrace's luxury rentals offer such practical amenities as custom closets and individually controlled heat and air-conditioning, but also numerous top-of-the-line design elements. These include ceramic-tiled floors and walls, Kohler fixtures and pedestal sinks in the bathrooms, as well as imported granite countertops, ceramic flooring, shaker-style cabinets and premium Whirlpool appliances in the windowed kitchens. Luminous hardwood floors and oversized windows and the attendant postcard views of lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River complete the luxurious picture. Some available rental units also offer spacious walk-in closets.
