River Park Towers

River Park Towers or the Harlem River Park Towers are two 38-story, and two 44-story residential buildings in the Morris Heights neighborhood of the Bronx borough in New York City. Completed in 1975, they became the tallest buildings in the borough, ahead of Tracey Towers and the multiple high-rises encompassing Co-op City. Currently, no other building in the Bronx has exceeded this height. Designed by Davis, Brody & Associates, both buildings were built with the intention to provide affordable, yet somewhat modern housing to the working class. It is built in the same vertically articulated style with "eight-inch-square, rusty-brown 'super bricks'" as Waterside Plaza and the Ruppert-Yorkville Towers, both of which were also built around the same time period by the same design firm.
