GOVERNOR HOCHUL AND MAYOR ADAMS ANNOUNCE LAUNCH OF PLANNING EFFORT FOR FUTURE OF ROOSEVELT ISLAND

The State and City’s agreement to extend Roosevelt Island’s Master Lease provides long-term stability that is especially valuable for prospective condo buyers. Extending the lease to 2078 gives lenders, developers, and homeowners clearer financial predictability, helping stabilize property values and ensuring buyers can secure traditional financing — a critical factor in mixed-ownership communities like Roosevelt Island.

The planned joint study of future development, infrastructure, and community amenities also signals responsible, forward-looking growth. For future home owners at Westview and Island House, this means the island is preparing for enhanced transportation, open space, redevelopment of key sites, and improved services — all contributing to stronger long-term desirability and investment value.

Just as importantly, the agreement launches a community-engagement process that ensures residents will have a meaningful voice in shaping Roosevelt Island’s future. This structured planning effort increases confidence that new development will balance modernization and expansion with the island’s unique identity and quality of life. For prospective buyers, that means entering a community with a stable governance structure, long visibility into future land use, and a coordinated road map for improvements - reducing uncertainty and increasing the attractiveness of purchasing a condo today.
