The St. John Vianney Priests' Residence is an addition to the existing John Cardinal O'Connor Pavilion in Riverdale, NY. The program includes 46 additional retirement suites and studios, with guest room accommodations on each floor including dining facilities with outdoor seating, a new kitchen, community spaces, administrative offices, and a new chapel.

The four level residential structure is linked to the existing John Cardinal O'Connor Pavilion to provide indoor access between each facility. The connecting level provides 18 suites which are designed to replicate the existing O'Connor suite sizes and decor.

Both facilities will now be supported with full emergency power capacities, as well as redundant heating and cooling capabilities. State of the art security and communication will also be integrated into each facility's infrastructure.     

The new facility maintains the charming character and scale of the existing O'Connor Pavilion while providing new site enhancements and walking opportunities. The site is uniquely located along the Hudson River allowing significant river views to the west and protected landscape to the east. A new landscape master plan will be implemented as a component to the St. John Vianney Priests' Residence, which not only preserves critical existing elements of the Riverdale neighborhood, but adds 100 new trees to the existing property with extensive shrubbery and other diverse plant compositions located around the entire site.
