What is GGP tearing down and what is it building?
The revitalization plan focuses on Pier 17 to the east of the FDR Drive. GGP will remove the Pier 17 building to make room for the relocated historic Tin Building, which will be restored and reconnected to the harbor’s edge under the supervision of the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). The Pier 17 mall will be replaced with nearly triple the amount of open space, “the Lighthouse” hotel and residential building, and a boutique hotel with ground floor retail. No exterior changes are planned for the Seaport’s historic cobblestone district.
