Governors Island welcomes 4 new tenants
Billion Oyster Project, Shandaken Projects, the Institute for Public Architecture, and Beam Center to join community of year-round tenants
Four new tenants, including the Billion Oyster Project, will be taking space in three buildings in the historic and picturesque Nolan Park area of Governors Island on a year-round basis, according to the Trust for Governors Island.
The Nolan Park area, characterized by charming yellow-colored homes that once housed military families, now houses arts and cultural workspaces, offices and shops on a seasonal basis. The area is a well-known attraction for tourists visiting the island during the warm-weather months.
“Over time, the Trust envisions expanding this successful seasonal model and shifting Nolan Park towards a year-round, multi-tenant campus for cultural research, presentation and public engagement,” the Trust for Governors Island said in a statement.
