The Vision for Hudson Landing is one of rebirth. Long neglected, the site is
poised and ready for this rebirth. Hudson Landing evolves from the long
overdue reclamation of this existing abandoned and derelict industrial site
which has been heavily scarred over the last centuries. Through this
reclamation a compact mixed use community will emerge with a network of
small blocks which will provide pedestrian links through greens, squares,
parks, trails and a riverfront promenade that will connect the urban fabric
of Hudson Landing with the Hudson River.
The planning of Hudson landing focuses on strengthening the pedestrian
environment with traditional clustered homes and walk-able streets, and a
range of development from more urban mixed use to more rural residential to
create a community with a real sense of place.
All along, the community
maintains a strong connection with the Hudson River through community greens
overlooking the Hudson, a public waterfront park and promenade, and upland
trails and scenic overlooks which will embrace the majesty of the Hudson
River.
The architecture has been developed from a cohesive array of guidelines
based upon examples of local vernacular styles that will add diversity in
form and character to the community and its residents.
Hudson Landing brings the River to the people and the People back to
the River…
