About
Just over forty years ago, the land upon which the Battery Park City neighbourhood was built didn’t even exist. This built-from-scratch planned community developed by Cooper Robertson in the 1970s and built upon landfill created with dirt and rock from Manhattan excavation sites like that of the original World Trade Center. The neighbourhood now boasts residential buildings, one of the largest public parks in New York City, and world class retail and commercial spaces.
