Manhattan’s Pier 90 Cruise Terminal Open for Business Following Major Renovation

Pier 90, one of New York City’s vital cruise terminals reopened for business in September after a yearlong construction period. The terminal redesign is the last of four terminals that formed part of a larger master plan developed by Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. (B&A), one of the leading waterfront design firms in the world.

“B&A’s Maritime expertise was instrumental to undertake the major upgrades and enhancements of the cruise terminals in Manhattan and Brooklyn” said Dmitri Konon, Vice President of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYC-EDC).

“The redevelopment of the New York waterfront forms the cornerstone of the NYC-EDC’s vision to promote cruising into the Boroughs and accommodate the larger fleets of mega cruise vessels currently under production. We are pleased to help make this vision a reality” said Rai Fernandez, Architect, Director and Partner for B&A.

The upgrades at Pier 90 included the renovation of the building’s exterior, major interior upgrades including passenger waiting areas, furnishings, finishes, lighting, escalators and check-in counters. The new master plan also included the addition of a new ground transportation area, improved mechanical plant, installation of modern security systems, customs and border protection station and upgraded life safety and building egress.

In addition to B&A’s design, the firm was also retained by the NYC-EDC as general consultants in negotiating long-term cruise contracts with several major cruise lines.
