A Timeless Collaboration on the Hudson Waterfront

DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP
The Cortland, a landmark collaboration between Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig, redefines West Chelsea’s Hudson Riverfront with timeless craftsmanship. Hand-laid brickwork, rusticated stone, and expansive bay windows honor the neighborhood’s industrial heritage while framing sweeping city and river views. Designed with enduring elegance, The Cortland embodies Stern’s philosophy of creating “portraits” of place—architecture that uplifts both its setting and its residents.
