Representatives of the AFL-CIO Investment Trust Corporation (ITC) and PNC Realty Investors, Inc. (PRI), made a recent site visit to the Riverhouse project currently under construction in New York's Battery Park City. The AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (BIT) provided $74 million in financing for the $430 million mixed-use development that will feature 264 condominium units, 369 underground parking spaces, 27,000 square feet of community space and 1,400 square feet of retail space. Riverhouse is Battery Park City's only waterfront condominium development. Approximately 60% of the units were already under contract at the end of the first quarter.
