As expected, Youngwoo & Associates have brought on RXR Realty as a partner in the development of the Superpier at Pier 57. While Youngwoo will still be creating a retail complex made of shipping containers, RXR will convert 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of the pier into offices. There were rumblings that some future tenants may have backed out, but leases for a rock-climbing facility run by Brooklyn Boulders and a spa run by hotelier Andre Balazs are still on the table.
