FreightNYC
BJH worked as part of a team led by VHB to analyze the City’s regional freight system’s capacity to handle future trade flows in an economically and environmentally feasible manner. BJH provided real estate analysis to support the consultant team’s recommendations by researching supply and demand for freight and other industrial space required by different modes (maritime, rail, air, and truck) in the five borough area and neighboring counties in New Jersey and Connecticut. BJH’s work helped to shape goals for future investments in this critical infrastructure. The FreightNYC initiative is currently set to invest up to $100 million to create new jobs, invest in maritime and rail solutions, modernize distribution facilities, and support an environmentally sustainable freight network.
