Staten Island General Developments (Project Set #2)
Some Staten Island Developments:
======================
Project Set #2:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Project: Empire Outlets
Quote:
Empire Outlets, which City Council approved on Oct. 30, 2013, along with the adjacent New York Wheel, will include 300,000 square feet of outlet space, 30,000 square feet of restaurant space, 20,000 square feet of banquet space and a 200-room hotel. The combined $580 million in private funding going to develop Empire Outlets and the New York Wheel is the largest private investment in the North Shore’s history and the biggest investment in the borough since the construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in the 1960s. It’s expected to open in summer 2016.

Project: New York Wheel (Not mentioned in this compilation)
Quote:
The 630-foot high New York Wheel, which City Council approved on Oct. 30, 2013 along with the adjacent Empire Outlets, will be the tallest observation wheel in the United States. The Wheel, slated to open in 2016, will be able to accommodate up to 1,440 people per ride and expects to attract more than 4 million riders annually.

Project: Lighthouse Point
Quote:
A 3-acre mixed-use waterfront development just south of the Staten Island Ferry terminal, Lighthouse Point will include 75,000 square feet of retail shops and restaurant space, a 164-room hotel and approximately 96 residential units along a waterfront esplanade. Construction on the $200 million Lighthouse Point project is expected to begin this fall and continue until late 2019.

Project: New courthouse in St. George
Quote:
The 182,000-square foot complex, now opening late this summer, will hold both the civil and criminal terms of state Supreme Court and the Criminal Court, currently housed at the Targee Street complex in Stapleton. The five-story building, right around the corner from the existing state Supreme Court building, will boast 14 courtrooms, jury assembly, hearing and deliberation rooms, judges’ chambers and court offices, and holding cells for prisoners

Project: Sandy Hook Pilots headquarters
Quote:
The Sandy Hook Pilots’ headquarters, a century-old converted warehouse at 201 Edgewater Street in Clifton, was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Rather than move elsewhere, however, the group, which brings more than 10,000 ships a year in and out of the Port of New York and New Jersey, has decided to stay and rebuild. The existing buildings will be demolished in July and the new building is expected to open by July 2015.

Project: New Brighton sanitation garage
Quote:
Back in February, the city Economic Development Corp. put out a Request for Expressions of Interest for the purchase and redevelopment of the sanitation garage on Jersey Street at the corner of Victory Boulevard in Tompkinsville, which had long been considered a neighborhood eyesore. It’s unclear what will become of the spot, but zoning on the 114,700 square foot site allows for the construction of three- or four-story attached houses or small apartments, grocery stores, restaurants, beauty parlors and other neighborhood retail outlets.

Project: Robbins Reef Lighthouse
Quote:
Robbins Reef Lighthouse, home to early 20th century keeper, Katherine Walker, will be rehabilitated and turned into a museum and tourist spot over the course of the next decade. The Noble Maritime Collection plans to restore the crumbling 137-year-old structure and turn its lower level into a museum for tourists and school groups that will resemble its appearance in the early 1900s when Katherine Walker lived there. The bulk of the reconstruction is expected to take five years, and will include a new dock, power and water lines, and reconstructing a porch on the lighthouse site. Construction and administrative expenses are estimated at roughly $800,000 over the first eight years of the project.

Project: Broadway Stages
Quote:
Broadway Stages, a television, film and music video production company, has assumed control of the former Arthur Kill Correctional Facility in Charleston for $7 million. The premier production company will build five sound stages on the 69-acre site, with an opening day as soon as summer 2014.

Project: Mixed-use development site in Charleston
Quote:
An 88-acre plot in Charleston, which had been one of the last remaining large parcels of public land on the South Shore, will be converted into a mixed-use development with retail, senior housing, a school, a public library and a park. The site touches on Arthur Kill Road and Englewood Avenue, and borders Bricktown Centre, the home of Target and Home Depot. Work on the project will be completed in two phases. The first phase, to be completed by 2015, includes construction of the 23-acre Fairview Park, an 11-acre retail site and a public library. The second phase, which includes the senior housing development, a K-8 school and a second retail plaza, should be finished by 2020.

Project: Arthur Kill Train Station
Quote:
A new full-time passenger train station, the borough’s first in at least 40 years, is set to open by the end of 2015. The $27.4 million Arthur Kill Station, located on the north side of Arthur Kill Road between Lion Street and Barnard Avenue, will replace the smaller, rusting Nassau and Atlantic train hubs. A 150-vehicle parking lot will be built across from the station.

Project: Freshkills Park
Quote:
The world’s largest garbage dump is slowly but surely being transformed into the city’s second largest park. Over the next 30 years, the massive 2,200-acre Freshkills Park will be redeveloped for an estimated $1.4 billion. The park will feature five sections — The Confluence, North Park, South Park, East Park and West Park — each with its own distinct character and offerings. Bike trails, walking paths, sports fields, a picnic lawn, a farm, a kayak launch, a bird watching tower and an earthwork monument are just some of the planned features of Freshkills. The park will also be home to the city’s largest solar energy facility, installed and operated by Sun Edison at no cost to the city.

Project: Staten Island Mall expansion
Quote:
The Staten Island Mall is expanding, according to sources with knowledge of the plan. The expansion will be on the Richmond Avenue side of the mall and will include a three-story, above-ground garage. The food court is also expected to be moved to the complex’s Richmond Avenue side.

Project: Staten Island Marine Development
Quote:
The 676-acre former NASCAR site in Bloomfield, now owned by Staten Island Marine Development, is being remediated for eventual industrial use as a marine port and logistics center. The remediation is expected to take three years, after which time the developer plans to construct the warehouses and marine terminal on its expansive, undeveloped property.

Project: Indoor track in Ocean Breeze
Quote:
A long-awaited state-of-the-art indoor track and field facility on Capodanno Boulevard in Ocean Breeze is slated to open in October 2014. The $70 million, 135,000 square foot complex will feature an eight-lane track, two long jump pits, a pole vault, a high jump, and two shotput and weight throwing areas.
|
Project: Fantasy Shore Amusement Park
Quote:
Fantasy Shore Amusement Park, a small beachfront amusement area with Staten Island’s only roller coaster, opens this summer in Ocean Breeze. The Parks Departmentgranted New York Carousel a temporary license to operate the park, located off of Father Capodanno Boulevard near Seaview Avenue. The park’s operator, which also runs an amusement park in Queens, is negotiating a 12-year license agreement with the city.

Project: West Shore Light Rail
Quote:
The West Shore Light Rail, if it comes to fruition, would connect to New Jersey’s Hudson-Bergen Light Rail over theBayonne Bridge and provide Islanders with a speedier link to the Jersey City waterfront and PATH subway service into Manhattan. The 13.1-mile line, which would make stops at nine stations on its way from Richmond Valley to Elm Park along the Island’s West Shore, could get to Manhattan in just under an hour, according to a study commissioned by the Staten Island Economic Development Corp. Depending on the number of stations built, the project could cost anywhere from $1.2 to $1.8 billion, with possible backing from the New York state or city transportation departments, the Port Authority or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. If the West Shore Light Rail does ultimately receive approval, construction on the line isn’t likely to begin until at least 2018.
