107th St. Pier, Bobby Wagner Walk
Enhancing connectivity, addressing disrepair, and creating a more accessible and vibrant waterfront for the East Harlem community.
Marvel is currently working on the planning and design of the 107th St Pier’s potential relocation and reconstruction and of the Bobby Wagner Walk esplanade from 94th St to 124th St along the confluence of the East River and the Harlem River, as part of a team led by Stantec. Bobby Wagner Walk is a length of the Manhattan Greenway that is in disrepair, lacks clear connectivity to the East Harlem Neighborhood and its proximity to the FDR created very narrow pinch points that do not comfortably meet a multimodal trail requirement.

From an urban design point of view, the redesign of both the pier and the promenade seeks to reconnect and improve existing connections to the neighboring community, through the reconfiguration of the esplanade layout, and programing within the new pier structure and along the length of the esplanade.
The end of the pier offers unobstructed views towards the river. Other elements are oriented towards views of the city.
A primary gathering space is located at the center of the pier, with secondary spaces and overlooks oriented to key views.

Marvel, in collaboration with Stantec, is spearheading the relocation and reconstruction of the 107th St Pier and redesigning the Bobby Wagner Walk esplanade from 94th St to 124th St, addressing disrepair and enhancing connectivity along the Manhattan Greenway. Focused on community engagement, the project aims to revitalize connections to East Harlem, reconfigure the esplanade layout, and create a renewed waterfront space, meeting the neighborhood's need for open spaces and improved multimodal connectivity.

Two shade structures will shelter the different areas of the pier, supporting various uses. By carefully placing them, the pier is able to mitigate the impact on the marine habitats by reducing shade casted on water.

The redesign seeks to reconnect the East Harlem community with its waterfront and to provide open space and multimodal connectivity corridor that the neighborhood needs.

The existing pier is separated from the flow of circulation along the esplanade, while the redesigned pier will be connected to the esplanade at two points, with an angled walk to draw users out over the water.


The design integrates the pier into the path of circulation along the esplanade with two entry bridges into the main shaded gathering space of the pier.

The end of the pier offers unobstructed views towards the river. Other elements are oriented towards views of the city.

A primary gathering space is located at the center of the pier, with secondary spaces and overlooks oriented to key views.
