First, this place was only a seaport, but in the year 2017 a contract was given to the SHoP Architects for constructing this space, and in the year 2018 it got completed. They redeveloped the south seaport and created a mix of boutiques, retail spaces, and a large restaurant that is worth more than $200 million.  

The new designs feature the typical New York streetscape with some structures like housing shops and eating places that are separated by a large open-air pedestrian. By taking two shops, a roof has been created of around 60000 square feet each. Besides this, this place also has enormous glass garage-style doors to protect it from the bad weather.
