800 Riverside Dr

The Grinnell is an eight-story, 1910 landmark cooperative on Riverside Drive in the Audubon Park Historic District. Designed by Schwartz & Gross in Beaux-Arts/Renaissance Revival vocabulary, the full‑block, triangular building features a porte‑cochère entrance that leads into a planted interior courtyard and barrel‑vaulted entryways. Twelve large units here are arranged as two- to four-bedroom homes with high ceilings (often ~10 feet), expansive formal rooms, original millwork, inlaid hardwood floors, transom windows, and decorative fireplaces; many apartments have been painstakingly restored and updated with modern kitchens and laundry. Common interior features include a staffed lobby with attendant and resident superintendent, elevator access, bike room, central laundry, storage units, and a modest gym. Exterior amenities emphasize shared outdoor space: a planted courtyard, building garden and a roof deck with Hudson River and George Washington Bridge views. The cooperative operates as an HDFC with income restrictions, low maintenance levels, and active financial management; pets are permitted and extra storage and bicycle facilities are available for nominal fees. The building’s location provides immediate access to Riverside Park, the Hudson River Greenway, Riverbank State Park, nearby retail and dining on Broadway, and direct transit at the 157th Street 1 line plus close C train and multiple bus routes.
