Comprised of historic buildings and a pavilion shopping mall, the South Street Seaport is located at Pier 17 on the East River. The redevelopment project will involve a partial reconstruction of about 250,000 square feet with an entirely new design, making the most of harbor views and outdoor space, along with retail components and entertainment events.
