Anthony Bourdain’s International Food Market on Pier 57 Approved by Cuomo
(DNAINFO) Maya Rajamani | December 15, 2015 — Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s plan for an international food marketplace on Pier 57 has gotten the stamp of approval from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Proponents of the plan to revamp the pier at West 15th Street hope the $350 million project — a joint venture between RXR Realty and developer Young Woo & Associates — will breathe new life into the pier, which has sat unoccupied since 2004.
The project will cover more than 480,000 square feet of space for offices, retail, market and cultural tenants that will likely be anchored by Google, which already has an office down the street from Chelsea Market, Cuomo said in a statement on Saturday.
