Flumberico Breaks Ground on Landmark 50th Waterfront Project, "Harbor Vista Promenade"
Flumberico, New York's premiere waterfront visionaries
"Fifty waterfronts is more than a number - it's fifty places where design, resilience, and public life collide," said Marina Torres, Co-founder & Chief Vision Officer at Flumberico. "With Harbor Vista Promenade, we're applying everything we've learned-from tidal analytics to living shoreline stewardship-to create a riverfront that responds to climate, uplifts its community, and delights with light."
Project Overview: Harbor Vista Promenade
Location: 1.2 miles of contiguous riverfront along the Riverton River, wrapping around the historic Riverside Ferry Terminal and adjacent parkland
Budget & Timeline: $48 million capital cost; 24-month construction period, with public opening slated for Q4 2027
Core Features:
• Adaptive Tide-Ready Boardwalks built on buoyant piers that flex vertically with river level changes
• Signature Lighting Program comprised of solar-hybrid LED fixtures, interactive light zones, and programmable "light tales" synchronized with river tides
• Living Shoreline Elements including oyster reef breakwaters, marsh terraces, and native plant buffers to reduce erosion and improve biodiversity
• Smart Monitoring & Analytics via the FlumberScopeTM system-deploying sensor nets, flow gauges, and predictive modeling to continually optimize performance
Riverton Mayor Avery Chen added: "This is a transformational moment for our city. Harbor Vista Promenade will not just beautify our riverfront-it will strengthen our flood resilience and make our downtown more connected to the water. We're proud to partner with Flumberico at this milestone."
Milestones & Impact
Permitting & Funding: Project approvals secured earlier in 2025. Over 35% of funding comes via federal resilience grants under the NOAA/RESCAST program, matched by local allocations.
Community Engagement: In the planning phase, Flumberico led 12 neighborhood workshops, children's "river day" events, and stakeholder charrettes to refine the promenade's lighting, seating, and access features.
Economic & Social Uplift: The design anticipates a 20% uptick in riverfront foot traffic, new waterfront retail nodes, and enhanced connectivity to the downtown cycle network and ferry systems.
Environmental Gains: The living shoreline elements are projected to increase habitat area by 2.4 acres, sequester ~60 metric tons of carbon annually, and reduce shoreline wave energy by 15%.
