Seaport District
Location: Lower Manhattan, New York, N.Y.
Size: The transformed Seaport District will encompass seven buildings on several blocks totaling more than 400,000 sq. ft.
Developer: The Howard Hughes Corporation
Key tenants: iPic Theaters, 10 Corso Como, Scotch & Soda
Status: Pier 17, the property at the center of the Seaport’s development plan, is set to open next year.
The Seaport District, New York City’s oldest new neighborhood, sits on the East River in lower Manhattan and boasts unparalleled views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. The neighborhood’s rich history, dating back to before the American Revolution, makes it one of New York’s unique settings.
As lower Manhattan’s population continues to skyrocket, the Seaport District is evolving into a much-needed community anchor, bringing premiere dining, shopping, entertainment and cultural offerings to the neighborhood. The revitalized area is also reconnecting New Yorkers to the East River shoreline, which for decades failed to capture the imagination of locals and visitors.
Moreover, The Howard Hughes Corporation’s stewardship of the District ensures that historic preservation is fused with cutting-edge design. When completed, the Seaport District will set a new standard for a 21st century, mixed-use community — one that preserves the past while keeping an eye toward the future.
