PIERS & TERMINALS

By revitalizing the City’s piers and terminals, NYCEDC helps to provide enhanced water transportation and recreational areas including waterfront park space and small boat landings. These waterfront projects catalyze economic growth, make the City more livable and promote tourism.

SPORTS FACILITIES

Over the years, NYCEDC has constructed several and sports/recreational facilities. Such projects create jobs, typically increase local pedestrian traffic, attract tourists and act as a stimulus for other development.

BUILDINGS

One of NYCEDC’s goals is to create better uses for City properties. As such, we have been involved in the construction and/or restoration of many buildings throughout the five boroughs. Several of our projects involve historic restoration preserving the City’s rich architectural history. Tweed Courthouse, now home to the NYC Board of Education. The Battery Maritime Building recently won an award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy for its historic restoration

STREETSCAPE & PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS

HOW WE WORK

PROJECT DESIGNATION

Many projects come to NYCEDC from City agencies such as the Department of City Planning, Department of Transportation, Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Parks and Recreation or from Borough Presidents, other local elected officials and Local Development Corporations. These agencies often elect to have NYCEDC manage design and construction projects, valuing our experience in maneuvering projects through complex City regulations. In part, this stems from the close relationship that NYCEDC has with these agencies and from our participation on special projects in coordination with these agencies and in coordination with Mayoral initiatives.

PROJECT EXECUTION

Once NYCEDC and partner agencies determine individual project requirements; NYCEDC assembles a skilled design team and construction manager with the specific expertise and experience to complete the project. NYCEDC’s capital division manages approximately two hundred design and construction projects within a broad range of categories.
