Projects

The Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation (BBPDC), a subsidiary of the Empire State Development Corporation, is responsible for the planning and construction of Brooklyn Bridge Park. The approximately 85 acre Project, consisting of piers, upland and water area, would stretch along 1.3 miles of Brooklyn waterfront approximately bounded by Jay Street on the north, Atlantic Avenue on the south, Furman Street on the east, and the East River on the west, and would include Piers 1 through 6.

The purpose of this Project is to allow reuse of the deteriorated East River waterfront for public benefit, and to once again make the waterfront an asset for the City and the region. The proposed Brooklyn Bridge Park would be a particularly valuable component of the City’s emerging recreational waterfront because of its high visibility, remarkable views, historic surroundings, strong adjacent neighborhoods, and innovative programming and design. The Project’s pathways would increase the water’s edge from 2.4 miles to 4 miles and provide pedestrians connections both to the water and to the full range of the Projects experiences. The Project would include active recreational facilities such as basketball, handball, and volleyball on Pier 3 and field sports such as soccer and field hockey on Pier 5; water recreation areas for kayaking; a marina; bicycle paths and greenway; civic lawns and provide opportunities to access the waterfront at sea level, and opportunities for cultural recreation.

E2 Project Management, LLC (E2PM) is contracted by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation (BBPDC) through their construction manager Skanska USA Building Inc. (Skanska) as their Engineer, to perform a number of different projects throughout the course of the parks development.
