6. Battery Maritime Building, 10 South Street, Lower Manhattan
A building loved over a century ago, once the crown jewel of the New York City waterfront — The Battery Maritime Building (BMB) is a 1909 historic ferry terminal at the southern tip of Manhattan. Marvel was the lead architect of the adaptive reuse project that saved this important New York City landmark from age and neglect. Now, the building is a multi-use event and hospitality venue that revitalizes the waterfront economy. With deep respect to its history and memory of the place, the facility serves public ferry operations while home to two gracious new lobbies on the ground floor. The civic second floor became an events venue centered on the restored Great Hall and the third and fourth floors as a boutique hotel. The modern fifth-floor glass addition houses a membership club with splendid views of Hudson Bay. This building is a timeless symbol of care and resilience.
