North/West Battery Park Resiliency Project

Fortifying Manhattan’s Southern Edge
The Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) is executing a $631 million initiative to fortify the southern edge of Manhattan against rising sea levels. Spearheaded by a progressive design-build team comprising Turner Construction, E.E. Cruz, Arcadis, Bjark Ingels Group, Scape Landscape Architecture, and WSP, the North and West Resiliency Project is set to bolster the area facing the Hudson River. 

This endeavor involves installing approximately 8,000 linear feet of flood and seepage barriers, including a deployable West Street barrier extending to Tribeca. Furthermore, interior drainage enhancements will safeguard the 92-acre neighborhood’s beloved parkland and esplanade, frequented by joggers and dog walkers.

Delivering BPCA’s Resilience Initiatives
The team is dedicated to providing a world-class solution that not only tackles the challenges of climate change but also enhances the neighborhood’s open spaces and waterfront. This project represents just one of BPCA’s three resilience initiatives. Another concentrates on South Battery Park City, encompassing key locations like the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Wagner Park, and the Staten Island Ferry terminal. These three projects collectively form part of a comprehensive strategy to shield Lower Manhattan from coastal threats.
