BFA was engaged by the New York State Economic Development Corporation to design the retail shopping concourses for the two Staten Island Ferry terminal buildings at Whitehall Street in Manhattan and St. George on Staten Island.

Ease of navigation and circulation; natural and artificial lighting; and multi-level accommodations for traditional stores as well as food venues were key elements of this project. The commission entailed design and construction documents for the storefronts, lighting and signage plans for the public shopping zones, and the development of Tenant Design Guidelines for the individual stores.
