SITE Grand Central Terminal / East Midtown Rezoning
PROGRAM Transit connections, cultural venues, framework for development
ROLE Project Manager

The plan for Midtown’s near future needs to make the Grand Central neighborhood a place people enjoy being in not just running through.  By reconnecting Park Avenue, opening Vanderbilt Avenue to the layers below, and creating a place underneath the MetLife building, Grand Central will have the framework to thrive for the next 100 years.  Hybridizing these spaces and adjacent buildings keeps relevance with a growing influence of technology on urban space.
