Special Hudson River Park District Map

  • As adopted, the Special Hudson River

Park District only includes Pier 40 (granting site) and the 550 Washington Street (receiving site).

  • It is anticipated that, in the future, to

transfer floor area from additional areas

  • f Hudson River Park to new receiving

sites, the Special District boundary will be amended to include those sites.

  • Sites on Block 675 have been identified

as potential new receiving sites for unused development rights on Piers 59, 60 and 61 including head houses in Hudson River Park.
