High Above the Har­bor: Gov­er­nors Island July 2013

Governors Island Aerial: July 2013We have gor­geous new images of the con­struc­tion progress on Gov­er­nors Island. Con­struc­tion on the 30 acres of glo­ri­ous new park and pub­lic space designed by West 8. These are the first aeri­als tak­en since the emo­tion­al and excit­ing implo­sion of Build­ing 877 to make room for new open open and stun­ning views of the Har­bor and Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty. You can also view a time-lapse per­spec­tive of progress over the past few months. Image cour­tesy Car­lo Busce­mi Imagery http://​www​.car​lobus​.com
