Could Roosevelt Island Vacant Indoor Pool At Island House Become Gorgeous NYC East River Waterfront Restaurant? Space Is On Market Now With Huge Sign On Windows

Here's a Roosevelt Island dream. A beautiful waterfront restaurant on the Roosevelt Island waterfront promenade with spectacular views of the NYC skyline, East River and Queensboro Bridge.



It might happen if the right Restauranteur can be found for the long empty Island House indoor pool which has just gone on the leasing market

with the Eastern Consolidated real estate brokerage company.

The space is approximately 25,000 sq ft with high ceilings and huge windows facing the East River.

Other potential uses include offices, gym, art galleries among others but I'm hoping for a restaurant.

But, at least one person does not like the huge billboard window signage.

@RIOCny @Rooseveltisland Are there no regulations on #rooseveltisland governing signage? Is a billboard like this really appropriate? pic.twitter.com/XJRYXD5yhu

I think the space has been empty for at least 20 years.

Any experienced restaurant owners out there?
