The Hugh L. Carey Battery Park City Authority is a New York State Public Benefit Corporation charged with developing and maintaining a well-balanced 92-acre community of commercial, residential, retail and open space. It is home to over 16,000 residents and includes 36 acres of public parks on Manhattan’s Lower West Side.
Established in 1968, Battery Park City Authority is a planned community, developed in place of where deteriorating piers once stood in the Hudson River. Through execution of its first-ever strategic plan, BPCA works toward being an inclusive community, a safe and climate resilient place, and a vibrant public space, all while demonstrating leadership for the future with a team dedicated to improving service and project delivery.
The community has become a blueprint for successful urban development and has achieved worldwide acclaim as a model for community renewal.
