ECOncrete contributed to the transformation of a former sanitation facility into Manhattan’s first public beach.
ECOncrete solutions create a terraced shoreline with tidal retaining features and diverse habitats. The elements provide enhanced coastal protection and serve as educational touchpoints highlighting the value of intertidal ecosystems.

The project, which also includes Manhattan’s first salt marsh and recreational beach, stands as a model for an urban waterfront development that advances both social and ecological resilience. (Image: Residents at Gansevoort Peninsula’s first Manhattan public beach, 2024)
