Originally owned and operated by Bethlehem Steel Works, and Union Iron Works and used as a shipyard, Pier 70 was the location where many steel ships were built for private investors and the US Navy during WWII.

The site is currently undergoing seismic upgrades and stabilization so the existing structures can be re-used for creative office space by companies and individuals.

Structural and seismic analysis of all buildings has been completed, and structural intervention strategies are being developed.
