Pier 42 is now open to the public! NYC EDC, with NYC Parks recently cut the ribbon on the final phase of the park, located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. “Our vision for Pier 42 was to transform eight acres of neglected urban decay into an engaging and sustainable space for one of New York City’s densest and significantly underrepresented communities,” said Signe Nielsen, Principal at MNLA. “By integrating native plantings, bio-swales, and solar lighting, our goal was to create a park that enhances ecological value while simultaneously providing a dynamic space for recreation and relaxation.” Nyc Economic Development Corp NYC Department of Parks & Recreation NYC Department of Design and Construction AKRF Sage and Coombe Architects Jacobs McLaren Engineering Group The LiRo Group
