The city has wrapped up construction on Pershing Square Plaza, a multi-purpose pedestrian space opposite Grand Central Terminal, officials said Thursday.

The $16.7 million project includes the 10,000-square-foot Pershing Square East, which sits on Park Avenue East between 41st and 42nd streets, and the 12,150-square-foot Pershing Square West, located on Park Avenue West between 41st and 42nd streets, the city Department of Transportation said.

The former features tables with chairs, trees and a Citi Bike station, while the latter features hundreds of plants and a raised patio serving as an outdoor dining area for the Pershing Square Café.

Between both plazas, more than 6,000 square feet of sidewalk and a dozen accessible pedestrian ramps were installed, along with new signage, pedestrian signals and upgraded streetlights and traffic signals, the DOT said.

Pershing Square West’s construction began in 2014, while Pershing Square East’s began in 2022, according to the agency.

“Our streets and sidewalks make up 80 percent of New York City’s public space and by building public plazas, we are also building a better city through new jobs, new local partnerships, and new spaces that benefit all who work, visit, and live in East Midtown,” DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said in a statement.

In his own statement, Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Thomas Foley said designers “ensured that the plaza shares the unique architectural character of the surrounding area, including iconic locations like Grand Central Terminal, Park Avenue Viaduct, and the Pershing Square Building.”

Upgrades to thousands of feet of water mains and sewer pipes were also part of the project, the DOT said. Several catch basins and fire hydrants were replaced or installed, and a drain system was built into the pavement to direct stormwater to a new rain garden, where it will be absorbed naturally, the agency added.

“This transformation of Pershing Square Plaza has created a vibrant public space in one of Manhattan’s busiest corridors,” city Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala said in a statement. “These upgrades will bolster the water delivery system, improve stormwater drainage, and enhance fire protection — creating a more resilient and safer East Midtown.”
