Battery Park City Esplanade New York, New York
Client: Battery Park City Authority Size: 350,000 gsf Completion: 1985
Running along the edge of Battery Park City for its entire 1.2-mile length on the Hudson River, this one-of-a-kind open space links the 92-acre mixed-use site to the rest of lower Manhattan at key points and, in turn, links lower Manhattan to the water. With striking views of the river, New York Harbor, Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty, the Esplanade is used by residents, tourists, and office workers both as a destination setting and as a path to walk, run, bicycle, or roller skate along the river.
