The Foreland Waterfront
INTRODUCING The Foreland Waterfront, a new commercial district along Catskill Creek that brings together retail, food and beverage, studios, and adaptive reuse spaces in a walkable, waterside setting. Organized around a central lawn and promenade, the Waterfront represents a strategic expansion of Foreland’s long-term vision—transforming underutilized space into a cohesive destination for commerce, culture, and community.
Focused on food, beverage, retail, and culture, these newly released public-facing commercial spaces range in scale and aesthetic.
The Bookhouse restaurant space presents an opportunity unlike any other in the Hudson Rover Valley: a stand-alone, 3,800 square foot restaurant with double-height ceilings, two-story lounge, and 360° views of the village, creek, and surrounding mountains. The space features hand-hewn slat ceilings, original exposed brick, a wraparound bar, custom lighting, and newly-installed modern amenities. A 1,000 square foot patio with private gardens and lawn nestled on Catskill Creek allow for outdoor dining and beverage programs.
This restaurant space will be the cornerstone of the Foreland Waterfront. Please be in touch directly to discuss your interests and needs.
