Update to Unit Owners // Feb 25

2025-02-15

Dear Unit Owners,

On behalf of the Board, I’d like to share an update on the BMT Committee’s efforts following the February 5 meeting hosted in our lobby by NYC/EDC and its representatives.

The BMT Committee—composed of dedicated volunteers who answered the Board’s call to action—remains committed to keeping residents informed and advocating for our building’s interests. In representing the majority of residents’ concerns, our key priorities include:

• Designating a significant footprint of greenspace on Pier 11 for residents and tourists

• Defining a height limitation for any future construction on Pier 11 that may limit views

• Limiting quality of life impacts created by any future construction, industrial use along the waterfront, and truck use (i.e., raised roadway) on Pier 11 

• Improving and expanding infrastructure to responsibly support a growing Red Hook community

Since February 5, the BMT Committee has been actively working on:

• Holding regular meetings to assess new developments

• Crafting a strategic advocacy plan for our building

• Developing a scope of work for a lobbyist partnership

• Engaging with NYC/EDC representatives to gather insights and voice our concerns

• Identifying public events where unit owners can participate

Your Voice Matters - We encourage all unit owners to take part in public discussions. Not sure where to start? Visit our building-specific website, www.imlaybmt.com, for project details, or connect with a committee member for guidance. We understand that individual concerns vary; we are dedicated to answering questions and incorporating feedback. 

Thank you for your continued support.

John Mealy
President
New York Dock Building Board of Managers
