STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A $400 million city investment will see the North Shore’s waterfront transformed with more big business, housing, a new school and open space, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.
From Stapleton to New Brighton, and possibly beyond, the plan envisions a totally new North Shore waterfront with open space, 2,400 housing units, and business opportunities that officials say could bring more than 7,500 new jobs and $3.8 billion in economic impact.

PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE
Before 2024, the city will break ground on the new $200 million Stapleton esplanade along Front Street, and the Mary Cali Dalton Recreation Center meant to replace the former Cromwell Center in Tompkinsville.
Additionally, by the end of the year, the city will begin its search for proposals on how best to redevelop the Jersey Street Sanitation Garage into a 200-unit affordable housing development, revamp the New York Wheel site, and transform a portion of the Stapleton waterfront, just south of the Urby housing development, into a mixed-income community.
Through 2027, the plan lays out a number of additional projects, including the completion of Lighthouse Point, the revitalization of Pier One, and a public-space transformation of much of the waterfront from Richmond Terrace and Jersey Street to just before Front Street’s intersection with Bay Street.
BRIDGE TO BRIDGE VISION
While the plan focuses on those neighborhoods, it also shares a future bridge-to-bridge vision that would connect the North Shore waterfront from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to the Bayonne Bridge.
