In a proposal that envisions the rebirth of the historic South Street Seaport as a vibrant part of Lower Manhattan, SHoP’s designs for the mixed-use complexes and open spaces along Pier 17 combine the density needed to support active street life on the waterfront with intimately scaled retail corridors. In keeping with the historic context of the area, the design introduces a wide piazza for live performances, local marketplaces, community fairs and other cultural events.
