Big Names Interested in Developing Pier 1

The Observer reports that a number of the city’s most active builders are considering the development opportunity at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 1, where a hotel with between 170 and 225 rooms and a condo with between 150 and 180 units are slated to rise. The city had an info session about the site last week that drew well-known development companies (including Related, Two Trees, Douglaston, The Dermot Company) as well as big-name architecture firms (TEN Architectos, FXFowle, Rogers Marvel and Architetonica). The Observer notes that some of these firms have worked together before: Two Trees with TEN and Dermot with both FXFowle and Rogers Marvel. Responses to the RFP for the project are due in October. You can see another schematic of the parcel layout here.
