PIER 17 The Seaport was once a key part of New York City’s golden age of shipping, a history now memorialized by the historic district’s three piers and 11 blocks of 18th- and 19th-century buildings. Recently, the area has undergone a significant revitalization that rebuilt Pier 17 into a 365,000-square-foot retail, dining and entertainment complex. The Howard Hughes Corporation development, designed by SHoP Architects, started phased openings to the public in 2018. Offerings include restaurants like Momofuku Ssäm Bar, Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s The Fulton and Andrew Carmellini’s Carne Mare; a 1.5-acre rooftop, with 3,400-standing capacity concert venue, in partnership with LiveNation; and, more recently, The Greens, a rooftop dining retreat operating during the Covid-19 pandemic. The development is also home to some dynamic office space, with ESPN and Nike as current tenants.
