    Addition to Battery Maritime Building modified

    Binding Report  •  Lower Manhattan, Manhattan

    Proposed three-story and penthouse addition reduced by two stories. On July 27, 2010, Landmarks approved the City’s Economic Development Corporation and the Dermot Company’s application to reduce a previously approved rooftop addition for the landmarked Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street along Lower Manhattan’s waterfront. The original proposal called for a three-story glass addition plus a penthouse. It was approved by Landmarks in February 2008 and the City Council in March 2009. 6 CityLand 37 (April 15, 2009).

    EDC has already spent $60 million renovating the 1909-built structure, which was once part of the Whitehall Ferry Terminal. In 2007, EDC selected Dermot to undertake the redevelopment of the site. The redeveloped building would feature a hotel, bar, and restaurant, with additional portions of the original structure open to the public. According to EDC, the site would “provide a gateway” to the newly acquired Governors Island. (read more…)

    Restoration of Battery Maritime Building along with addition of boutique hotel wins approval. On March 11, 2009, the City Council voted to approve the Economic Development Corporation and Dermot Company’s redevelopment plan for the Battery Maritime Building, located on the southern tip of Manhattan just east of Battery Park.

    The 1909 building, once part of the original Whitehall Ferry Terminal, was designated as an individual City landmark in 1967. EDC recently renovated the City-owned building at a cost of about $60 million, and sought proposals for redevelopment and reuse of the site. In July 2007, EDC awarded the interior redevelopment contract to Dermot. Plans for the building include a multi-use venue and public space for the former waiting room on the second floor, and a three-story glass addition and one-story penthouse that will house a 138-room hotel and an indoor/outdoor roof-top bar and restaurant.
