project being located on Thames street, is across from local shop and surrounded by retail, and a neighborhood of row homes. Our vision for the site is to rehabilitate the existing head building, and tear down the 45,000-SF deck. The design is sensitive to the surrounding community and incorporates  the neighborhoods’ desire for the pier to be returned to service for public enjoyment while also implementing a development that capitalizes on what the market will support. Our vision of the pier as a mixed-use retail and  employment center is the sites highest & best use.
