Pier 57
Chelsea’s 12th Avenue and pier is currently undergoing massive retail, commercial, and cultural expansion with the Pier 57/SuperPier project.
Developer Youngwoo & Associates has partnered with RXR Realty to manage SuperPier’s commercial building process.
Responding to a 98% occupancy rate with the area’s Starrett-Lehigh Building, RXR chief executive Scott Rechler is foreseeing like demand for commercial and retail space with waterfront views and open layouts.
In addition to office space, a ground floor retail space, Youngwoo is working toward bringing in a spa and beach club with hotelier Andre Balazs, indoor-rock climbing Brooklyn Boulders, and the Tribeca Film Festival for the pier’s planned roof space.
The SuperPier’s cost, according to Mr. Rechler, will be in the area of $350 million.
