Walk the Sleepy Hollow RiverWalk on any weekend morning and you'll pass the same two landmarks that haven't changed much in over a year. One is a glass-walled retail space at the base of The Daymark, 25-foot ceilings, black iron venting already roughed in for a commercial kitchen, a straight sightline to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The other is the temporary connector path that carries foot traffic from the finished promenade north toward Kingsland Point Park, a link that was supposed to become a permanent piece of parkland years ago.
Both are stand-ins for something that hasn't arrived yet. And the gap between what Edge on Hudson has built and what it has promised is the more honest way to read this neighborhood right now than any occupancy percentage in a developer press release.
A Restaurant You Can See Through the Glass
The Daymark sold out fast. As of June 2026, the building's 100 condominium residences were more than 90 percent sold, and the leasing agency Lee & Associates was actively marketing the last two ground-floor commercial spaces, a combined 6,300 square feet of waterfront retail that has sat unused since the building topped out. The listing description reads like a pitch a chef would dream about: unobstructed bridge views, room for seasonal outdoor seating, space built to handle a full Type 1 kitchen from day one.
"Opportunities for waterfront dining of this scale and quality don't come along often or at all," Lee & Associates broker Mark Kapnick said when the space went to market.
He's not wrong about the opportunity. But the fact that a restaurant this shovel-ready still needed to be marketed to operators, months after the residences above it filled up, tells you something about how Edge on Hudson actually develops. Housing moves first. Retail catches up later, sometimes much later. That's not unusual for a mixed-use project this size, but it matters if you live there and you've been picturing dinner on that terrace since you signed your closing papers.
The one waterfront food and beverage concept that did open on time is upstairs, not down front. DeCicco & Sons opened its 50,000-square-foot market in March 2025 with a second-level bar and restaurant and outdoor seating built in. If you want a meal with a river view at Edge on Hudson today, that's currently the only one that exists outside your own kitchen.
The Path That Was Supposed to Be Permanent Three Years Ago
The RiverWalk itself opened with real ceremony in October 2022, when Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and then-Mayor Ken Wray cut the ribbon on a stretch of the promenade running from River Street north toward the lighthouse. At the time, officials were candid that the connection to Kingsland Point Park wasn't finished. A temporary path was put in as a stopgap, with construction on the permanent extension expected to begin, in the words of coverage at the time, the following year.
That was 2023. The permanent North Meadow extension, adjacent to Kingsland Point Park, was still described as a 2026 construction project in reporting from March of this year, when the Village of Sleepy Hollow accepted a $4.6 million milestone payment from developers Biddle Real Estate Ventures and PCD Development. Mayor Marjorie Hsu, accepting the check, said the village looks forward to "the completed Riverwalk and exciting retail development and restaurants that benefit all of our residents." That's a mayor speaking in the future tense about an amenity residents were told, three years earlier, would already be underway.
None of this means the project has stalled. Large mixed-use developments routinely take longer to finish public infrastructure than to sell housing, and a temporary connector is a normal way to bridge that gap. But if you've been walking that same interim stretch since you moved in, it's worth knowing the original timeline called for something more permanent well before now.
What Actually Landed on Schedule
To be fair to the place, plenty has moved on pace or faster. Toll Brothers' original townhomes and condominiums, the first phase of the whole community, sold out in 2023. One Kingsland, the 90-unit townhome neighborhood by Sun Homes bordering the new parkland, sold through its first phase in five months, with a second phase nearly gone and a third planned for spring release as of this year. By March 2026, more than half of the 1,177 total residences planned across the site were occupied. That $4.6 million check to the village came specifically because the project hit the halfway mark on certificates of occupancy, a real milestone tied to real households moving in, not just units under contract.
So the housing side of Edge on Hudson has largely delivered what it said it would, on a timeline close to what was promised. It's the connective tissue, the restaurant, the permanent park link, that has consistently trailed behind.
What This Actually Means If You Live Here
A few practical takeaways for anyone already calling Edge on Hudson home this fall:
- If you want a sit-down river view meal without leaving the property, DeCicco's second-floor bar and restaurant remains the only option that exists today, not the ground-floor space at The Daymark.
- The path north to Kingsland Point is still the informal one. There's no announced date for the permanent North Meadow extension to open, only that construction was expected to start sometime this year.
- The 6,300-square-foot waterfront restaurant space was still on the market as of its most recent listing this summer. No tenant had been announced.
None of this is a knock on the neighborhood. Edge on Hudson has done something genuinely difficult, turning a shuttered General Motors assembly site into a place where more than half its planned housing is already occupied. The lesson for residents is simpler than a verdict on the whole project: the marketing tense and the construction tense aren't always the same thing here, and the gap between them is where you'll spend your Saturday mornings for at least one more season.
