250 Water Street
Construction is underway on a new $850 million mixed-use development in the South Street Seaport District.
AKRF has provided environmental planning, civil engineering, and construction monitoring for the 27-story residential, office, and retail development with 400 market-rate and affordable rental apartments. Developed by the Howard Hughes Corporation and designed by SOM, the building is being built on the former site of a full-block surface parking lot.

Services from planning to occupancy
AKRF first prepared the project’s CEQR Environmental Impact Statement, for which a Notice of Completion was issued in 2021. Our work included the preparation of transportation analyses to allow increased usage of the Pier 17 access road crossing the East River Greenway
We are now providing civil engineering, including preparing the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, designing site improvements such as the stormwater detention tank and sidewalk grading, and coordinating design of the building’s green roof and planter terraces to meet water quality and runoff reduction volume requirements.
AKRF is also performing an archaeological investigation of the property during construction excavation —we observed and collected artifacts associated with the filling of Peck Slip and documented the removal of landfill timbers — and are now leading crack, vibration, and optical settlement monitoring during construction.
