McKissack, as a subconsultant to Hunter Roberts Construction Group, provided construction management services to oversee the redevelopment and reconstruction of Pier 57. Pier 57 is a historic 375,000 square foot former passenger ship terminal that projects into the Hudson at 15th Street and the West Side Highway. Plans for the pier include approximately 425,000 square feet of office, retail and restaurant space, a concept that builds upon the successes of the adjacent High Line Park, West Chelsea District, Meatpacking District, and Hudson River Park itself. The project included historic preservation of the pier structure, the creation of over 75,000 SF of public open space on the pier’s rooftop “skypark” and the creation of significant new creative retail, restaurant and entertainment spaces. The plans for the pier also include third and fourth floor office space geared towards the creative and technology industries
