About The Seaport District
The Seaport District, New York’s original commercial hub, is located on the East River in Lower Manhattan with unparalleled views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and the city’s iconic skyline. Attracting approximately 15 million visitors annually prior to beginning its redevelopment, the Seaport was recently named the 22nd most visited tourist attraction in the world by Travel + Leisure.
The Seaport District is currently being revitalized by The Howard Hughes Corporation and will encompass seven buildings on several city blocks totaling more than 400,000 square feet of cutting-edge culinary, fashion, entertainment and cultural experiences, including the 40,000 square foot food market by Jean-Georges in the restored Tin Building that will rival the world’s most popular food concepts as well as the only Manhattan location of premier cinema operator iPic Theaters. In the new Pier 17® building, culinary powerhouses Jean-Georges Vongerichten and the Momofuku Group led by David Chang will be opening restaurants as the first to be announced in what will become an unparalleled range of dining options in the district.
Pier 17 will also be highlighted by a 1.5-acre rooftop that will include a restaurant, outdoor bars and a venue for special events that will become one of the most recognizable entertainment destinations. The rooftop will be programmed year-round, home to a seasonal summer concert series as well as a winter village and a cultural and entertainment gathering place for New Yorkers and visitors. An essential part of New York for over 300 years, the re-envisioned Seaport District will continue to function as a much-needed community anchor for the rapidly growing population of Lower Manhattan.
