Build the waterfront home you never thought you could have in New York City.
83 Rochelle Street on City Island presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront residence with private beach access, mooring rights, sweeping water views, and incredible sightlines toward Manhattan, the Throgs Neck Bridge, and the Whitestone Bridge.
Located in an R3A zoning district within the Special City Island District, the property offers potential for a detached one- or two-family residence, subject to all applicable NYC zoning, building, waterfront, environmental, and Special City Island District regulations.
Even more unique, the property is not located in a designated flood zone, adding another important advantage for a waterfront site. A separate parking lot is also available, offering additional space for vehicle parking, boat storage, or other permitted uses.
This is not simply a vacant lot. It is an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind waterfront lifestyle. Design a custom home with expansive windows, terraces, outdoor entertaining space, and panoramic views across the water. Step outside to your private beach, enjoy direct waterfront access, and take advantage of valuable mooring rights for the ultimate City Island experience.
City Island offers a rare combination of coastal charm and New York City convenience, with marinas, restaurants, boating, waterfront recreation, and a distinctive neighborhood atmosphere just minutes from the rest of the Bronx and surrounding Westchester communities.
Waterfront buildable land with this combination of location, views, beach access, mooring rights, bridge views, and additional parking and boat storage potential is incredibly difficult to find within New York City.
Bring your architect, bring your vision, and build something truly special at 83 Rochelle Street.
All information, including zoning, buildability, flood-zone status, mooring rights, beach rights, permitted uses, lot dimensions, FAR, setbacks, environmental conditions, utilities, parking, boat storage, and potential improvements, is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer and buyer’s representatives must independently verify all information and development potential with the appropriate NYC agencies and qualified professionals.
