The park’s first section, Pier 1, opened in 2010. The park’s site used to be an industrial area owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. When the state and city agreed in 2002, designs for the park’s site and the financing started. The first phase, completed in 2007, involved the demolition of a warehouse underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. Since the beginning of the construction of Pier 1, many other areas of the park have been completed. By the close of July, the park was only one-third complete. There are lawsuits and disputes concerning various Brooklyn Bridge Park elements, like residential development in the building to finance the construction.
