Let’s cut to the chase, MANHATTAN NEEDS A BEACH. We’ve got everything else, its clearly time and we need YOU to help us get there.

New Crowd Funding Project:’’City Beach NYC’’

CROWDFUNDING AND YOU

The purpose of this campaign is to raise awareness in our community, showing public support of the project to our city officials, investors and brand partners that we have your support.

The first milestone of the project develops the operational plan and begins the process with the local municipalities. The $35,000 raised during this phase allows us to hire the team we need to move the project to the next level. We’ve started off with donations as low as $10, but you can enter any amount you’d like, even $1. The goal here is showing your support.

The second milestone builds a scaled 3D model that allows the architects to explore the design in three dimensions. It will also be used to help illustrate to the community and city boards the functionality with the site and interaction the public will have once the barge is in place and costs $35,000.

The third milestone of the project invests in design development for architecture and structural engineering. Focusing more on the technical aspects and building materials, this phase allows us to understand the functions and systems further and is estimated at $150,000.

The next milestone moves into construction drawings, documentation, permitting applications, renderings and community outreach $185,000

It’s important for to us to work through each of these stages to get our build costs accurate so we know where we are headed and we reduce the surprises along the way. We’ve broken this down to help you understand that you are driving how fast the project can move, if you get behind us this project can be a reality by the summer of 2016. Now the question is how badly do you want it?
