Governors Island New York Harbor

Governors Island in New York Harbor, a now-discontinued Coast Guard base, it has been unseen by the public for 200 years.




On 172-acres just one-half mile offshore, 5 minutes from Brooklyn and Battery Park, the 2-mile wateredge faces spectacular skyline and harbor views.

A National Landmark District reveals the story of three historic fortificatons that secured the city during two centuries of military and international activity.

Congress has directed the GSA to dispose of the Island in 2002, at fair market value pegged at $500 million. New York City and State have a right-of-first-offer on its land and substantial facilities, suitable to reuse for business, institutional and public purposes.
