About The Whitehall
The Whitehall is acknowledged by real estate experts to be the premier luxury apartment residence in Riverdale, and has been ranked among the top 10 apartment buildings in New York City. Built in 1970, the unmistakable white façade of this imposing 23-story building towers over the Henry Hudson Parkway as it winds its way toward Manhattan through South Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil.
Unlike the vast majority of apartment residences in New York City, which sit shoulder to shoulder like so many boxes on grocery shelves, The Whitehall stands alone on a sizeable property, allowing for beautifully landscaped green spaces around all sides of the building. The effect transforms the Whitehall living experience from merely inhabiting an apartment building as just another “cliff-dweller” to one of living on an estate, or in a fine resort hotel.
The canopied main entrance to the building, with its distinctive circular driveway, fronts directly on the Henry Hudson Parkway’s west service road, between 232nd St. and 235th St., immediately at Exit 19 of the Parkway.
The west side of the building, with the garage and service entrance, is on Independence Ave., and overlooks Seton Park, the Hudson River, the cliffs of the Palisades, and beyond.
Express buses to Manhattan, and local buses that connect to the major subway lines, plus a connector bus to Metro North’s Spuyten Duyvil rail station all stop within steps of The Whitehall’s front entrance.

The Whitehall is known for the generous size of rooms and ample closets and storage spaces in the apartments, spectacular penthouses, balconies for most apartments, beautiful views in all directions, centralized heating and air conditioning, a spacious, hotel-like lobby with 24 x 7 concierge service, and doorman service.
The Whitehall Club is a full health club and spa featuring on the lower level, workout rooms with the latest cardio and free weight equipment, licensed personal trainers, numerous classes for all age groups and levels of ability, and a “toddlers gym” pre- school program. On the Whitehall's upper pool deck level, a 30,000 sq. ft. "green roof," designed in consultation with the architects and landscapers who created Manhattan's High Line park, is now open and is one of the largest such features in residential buildings anywhere in New York City. Our "green roof" includes walking paths, picnic areas, tree-shaded and open sun seating areas, a children's playground, and of course we continue to feature the finest glass-domed Olympic-size indoor pool in the area.
The building also includes twin laundry rooms, an on-site dry cleaner and valet service, a vending machine snack bar, numerous medical offices and the first Bright Horizons Family Solutions early learning center in the area. Bright Horizons is the worldwide leader in family-oriented daycare operations, and the firm recently opened its Riverdale facility in The Whitehall's 13,000 sq. ft. school annex.
The 5-level attended, enclosed garage offers convenient parking with single and “piggy-back” spots available, and direct access to the building basement.
The Whitehall’s centralized location affords residents easy walking distance to a wide array of neighborhood shops, services and restaurants, while the Spuyten Duyvil branch of the New York Public Library sits directly in back of the building on Independence Ave.
Some of New York’s top public schools are literally a block or two away, while Riverdale is well known as the home of some of the finest private schools in New York, such as Horace Mann, the Fieldston School and the Riverdale Country School, as well as many fine parochial schools. The campus of Manhattan College, home of “the Jaspers,” is a short walk from the building, while Columbia University, Mt. St. Vincent College and CUNY institutions including CCNY, Lehman College and Bronx Community College are also nearby. The immediate area includes many houses of worship in all denominations.
By car, The Whitehall is just minutes away from the George Washington Bridge. Heading south on the Henry Hudson Parkway, you can be in midtown Manhattan in little more than 10 minutes. Heading north on the Parkway, you cross into Westchester County in less than 5 minutes, with easy connections to all the major highways heading north, east and west.
The Whitehall totals some 440 apartments, including both rental units and co-op apartments owned by shareholders. But regardless of whether you rent or own your apartment, the building has always had a real welcoming, community feeling. This has been bolstered by a seasonal newsletter, The Whitehall Whirl, that helps keep all residents in touch, The Whitehall’s own website, as well as an Events Committee that sponsors movies, lectures and discussions, demonstrations and other performances for all residents all year ‘round. Whitehall management, and the Board of Directors of the building, are totally focused on making sure that The Whitehall delivers on the quality of life that all of its residents have come to expect.
To maintain the highest level of service for all residents, The Whitehall's management company, industry leader Allied Partners maintains an on-site management office with a dedicated, full-time general manager and assistant manager available during normal business hours. The Resident Manager/Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent are full-time residents of the building, and they oversee a friendly, long-serving staff of skilled handymen, security guards, concierge desk personnel and doormen, and porters numbering more than 25.
Over the years, The Whitehall has been home to many notable names in the world of sports, entertainment and politics. Baseball hall-of-famer Willie Mays, former Yankees star Ron Blomberg, actress Yvonne DeCarlo, TV host Ed Sullivan, former “top cop” and U.S. Congressman Mario Biaggi, former Manhattan College and St. John's men’s basketball coach Barry Rohrssen, and many others have lived at The Whitehall. But no Whitehall resident could ever be said to be ordinary. The building boasts professionals in the fields of law, medicine, finance, politics, accounting, education, the arts and real estate. In fact, a number of Riverdale’s top real estate brokers live right here at The Whitehall, providing even more dramatic evidence of the building’s desirability and prominence in the Riverdale area.
