SEMINAR OVERVIEW
MEET THE OWNER:
A BTEA PROJECT CASE STUDY The Howard Hughes Corporation’s South Street Seaport Development
As a world-renowned destination known for its iconic location, South Street Seaport is comprised of three historic buildings and one pavilion shopping building on the East River in Lower Manhattan. The re-envisioned South Street Seaport will create an unparalleled New York experience that is compelling to residents, local workers and tourists. Pier 17 will transform into a world-class shopping, dining and entertainment venue which will make the area even more popular and provide the rapidly growing residential population of Lower Manhattan with a much-needed community anchor. The development plan includes the complete renovation of Pier 17, including enhanced and increased open space on the pier as well as the building’s roof, and retail space filled with destination stores, restaurants and neighborhood shops. The design is contemporary yet draws from the site’s history as a bustling marketplace and renowned maritime port. The grand reopening is planned for 2015. Speakers from The Howard Hughes Corporation and SHoP Architects will discuss the history and current state of the project, as well as the challenges being faced on the jobsite each day.
