Update: Hudson Waterfront Climate Adaptive Park

Together with Labella Associates, we’ve completed our site investigations phase and refined the park design with a strong focus on sustainability. Our permit strategy and the park’s environmental conditions, including its ongoing monitoring status from past environmental remediation, are influencing factors for our approach. In 2022, we created a waterfront vision plan through community and stakeholder engagement. In this phase, we have taken a more granular look at the site to confirm the best climate-adaptive approach that fits within all our site and project timeline conditions yet still holds true to our waterfront vision plan.

We have recently spent a lot of time thinking about materials. Considering annual park flooding, low maintenance needs, and our commitment to designing with low embodied carbon materials, there’s a lot to consider when sourcing materials. We’re making lots of calls and asking lots of questions! By integrating climate-conscious design strategies with flood resilience, we are shaping a park that is both resilient and environmentally responsible, and we’re so excited to continue working with Hudson to move this vision forward!
