Wagner Park is being rebuilt as part of the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project, elevated atop a buried
flood barrier system for resiliency against more frequent and severe storms. The new pavilion building will house food and beverage operations, as well as serve as a neighborhood amenity, with community, arts, cultural, and recreational programming.

The structure will be newly constructed with cast-in-place reinforced architectural concrete, divided into north and south wings and will have a public rooftop viewing area, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an adjacent terrace. Space for the food and beverage concept will be located in the south wing, with a total of 5,000 square feet for kitchen and dining.

The Pavilion will located inside Wagner Park, next to Museum of Jewish Heritage–A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, The Skyscraper Museum, Pier A, The Battery, and Castle Clinton National Monument. The site is near subway service for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, J, and Z trains. Also within walking distance is the Oculus and a ferry hub.
