The High Line

Gansevoort to West 30th streets between Washington & 11th avenues

Manhattan

Acres: 4.78

The High Line is a complete reuse and transformation of an abandoned industrial structure into a verdant public park 30 feet above the ground.  The design hearkens back to the era when the West Side of Manhattan was America's premier working waterfront.
