by Emma Davey Australian developer Lendlease recently announced that their 1 Java project, now dubbed “The Riverie,” will start leasing next year.
The waterfront property, comprising one block of India, Java and West streets, will house 834 units across two residential towers, topping out at 37 and 20 stories. 30% of the units are designated affordable under the Affordable New York Housing Program (a housing lottery will go live early next year, check if you’re eligible here).

Why your support matters
More cars on the street. Yes they have indoor parking but it is so expensive many park on the street where there is almost no parking. It is like quantum physics where things are packed so tightly there is no room left to move. Our beloved patronage pick, Dept. of sanitation, Tisch made the brilliant move of increasing alternate side parking from two to four days. Now people sit in their cars and don’t move for four day causing, parents, workers, seniors to waste more time and the street sweepers have guaranteed work zipping down the street and not cleaning since nobody moves because there is no parking.
It’s like a three stooges or abbott and Costello comic skit.
