Plaza Construction Completes Tin Building in Seaport

Plaza Construction has completed the historic rebuilding of the Tin Building at Pier 17, the site of the former Fulton Fish Market and now housing the Jean-Georges Gourmet Food Hall. Plaza led the detailed replication of the NYC Landmarks building in the South Street Seaport district.

“We’re proud to have been part of the historical project that is the Tin Building,” said Thomas D’Ercole, EVP of Plaza Construction. “This one-of-a-kind building is an exceptional example of how national landmarks can be repurposed in the modern context and brought up to date with modern amenities.”

Plaza Construction dismantled the entire structure of the original Fulton Fish Market, and removed the existing pier prior to building a new pier. This allowed the new building to be relocated 33 feet to the east and elevated so it is out of the flood plain. Plaza then built the new structure, while restoring a select iron and steel structural members and providing an exact replication of the facade and keeping the flavor of the original fish market.
