Pier 6 at MADE Bush Terminal is undergoing a transformation into a public green space, emphasizing community access. The $25 million project aims to stabilize the aging pier and enhance the local ecosystem. It also incorporates repurposed industrial artifacts. A strong community advocacy has supported this initiative, aimed at providing recreational space and improving waterfront access. The project will enhance the connection to New York's waterfront, contributing to local economic growth while maintaining a commitment to the area's industrial history.
Pier 6, once a bustling industrial hub, will be transformed into a recreational waterfront oasis for community residents and tenants of the MADE Bush Terminal Campus - MADE is an acronym for Manufacturers, Artisans, Designers and Entrepreneurs - offering striking views of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty. The $25 million project, slated for completion in 2027, includes stabilizing the aging pier to provide safe waterfront access and enhancing and protecting the diverse ecosystem of plants and wildlife, including naturally seeded vegetation.
At the Pier 6 groundbreaking on Aug. 12, Andrew Kimball, president and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), which manages MADE Bush Terminal, said community organizations such as Community Board 7, the Sunset Park Task Force and UPROSE had long advocated for waterfront access and more green space.
