The city reached a new development deal with the state on what exactly can be built at Brooklyn Bridge Park to help fund its maintenance. Then, two days later, the city released an RFP seeking developers for Pier 1, the first site at the park to be redeveloped.
The RFP calls for two new buildings housing a hotel and condos, with either 170 hotel rooms and 180 condo units, 225 rooms and 150 units, or some mix thereof. If there was any notion Brooklyn is still somehow a backwater, the high-profile firms vying for these two sites should dispel that idea right about… now. According to a source present at an information session held yesterday by the city, among the developers and architects present were:
•Related Companies (Hudson Yards, Time Warner Center)
•Hines (MoMA Tower, Bryant Park tower)
•Two Trees (Pretty much all of Dumbo, Mercedes House)
•Andre Balazs (Fabulous!)
•Douglaston Development (The Edge)
•Rockrose (Lots of Queens West, 200 Water Street)
•TF Cornerstone (Lots of Queens West, 505W37)
•Starwood Capital (Westin, W hotels)
•The Dermot Company (One Hanson, Battery Maritime Building)
•Muss Development (Two Brooklyn Marriotts, Sky View Parc)
•TEN Architectos (One York, Hotel Americano)
•FXFowle (FXFowle, Northside Piers)
•Rogers Marvel (Gowanus Green, State Street townhouses)
•Architetonica (MiMA, Westin Times Square)
•Artimus (Lots of Harlem: 5th on Park, SoHa)
