Soon, you will read our next report about the Working West Shore 2030 plan, which was released late 2008, much earlier than the most recent North Shore Plan. While the West Shore plan was released much earlier, we’ll look at the most recent North Shore plan this past December. So, we’ll work a bit backwards. We did this because the North Shore plan was a bit more ambiguous than the West Shore plan and wanted to look into it with a bit more detail. While some have been critical of the West Shore Plan, however, by far and large, it was an excellent plan, and well detail why it works so well. So, on to the North Shore plan which was put together buy the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the Department of City Planning, whom look to take on the next chapter of Staten Island real estate development.
Since the report was recently released, not much research has been done to find out the needs of the North Shore, as opposed to the wants. Unlike the Working West Shore 2030 plan, North Shore 2030 does not have a complete Market Analysis Report—there is only an Executive Summary of the report currently available. While this may be, there is some pertinent information regarding land usage in the study area.
The study area is made up of five square miles along Staten Island’s North Shore. While this may be less than half of the West Shore’s study area, there are still big plans for these five miles. The areas which make up the study area are 0.7 square miles of the neighborhood of St. George, 1.5 square miles of the New Brighton and Snug Harbor area, 1.5 square miles of Port Richmond’s neighborhood, and 1.3 square miles of the Elm Park and Mariners Harbor areas.
The Market Analysis Executive Summary, which was released in February of 2009, explains what is to be expected in these areas over the next ten years. It does this by giving some insight as to the current conditions of the area. North Shore 2030: Improving and Reconnecting the North Shore’s Unique and Historic Assets was a study released in December of 2011. It explains the steps that will be taken to improve the study area.
The Executive Summary of the Market Analysis deals with the different aspects of the Real Estate Market. This includes maritime and industrial businesses, offices, residences, and retail businesses.
