Just over forty years ago, the land upon which the Battery Park City neighborhood was built didn’t even exist. This built-from-scratch planned community developed by Cooper Robertston in the 1970s and built upon landfill created with dirt and rock from Manhattan excavation sites like that of the original World Trade Center. Forty years later, the neighborhood now boasts residential buildings, one of the largest public parks in New York City, and world class retail and commercial spaces like Brookfield Place and the World Financial Center. To mark this year’s 40th anniversary of the Lower Manhattan neighborhood, you can join Cooper Robertson Director and Battery Park City Project Lead Brian Shea on a special tour through the community which he was integral in creating.
