The observation deck here is designed to mimic the bow of a ship jutting out over the East River. This architectural choice serves as a direct nod to the history of the site, which spent decades as a gritty industrial hub for shipping and freight rail. Where you now stand, workers once handled coal, sugar, and freight cargo, but the steel and concrete platform now transforms that memory into a public vantage point.
