The city’s plan to build a fancy marina for private yachts, with a hotel and entertainment complex, next to its Brooklyn cruise-ship terminal, is officially dead in the water.
More than two years after the city’s Economic Development Corp. announced plans to redevelop Pier 11 near the cruise terminal in Red Hook, the EDC has tossed out all proposals solicited from developers vying for the project.
“We are looking at other options now on what is the best use of the pier,” said EDC spokeswoman Janel Patterson yesterday.
Sources said the city had no choice after the Port Authority earlier this year sunk the Bloomberg administration’s larger plan to lease and redevelop nearby Piers 7-10.
Rather than let the city bring a second cruise terminal, a new home for Brooklyn Brewery and housing to the piers, the Port Authority opted to keep it a shipping port and renew a lease with American Stevedoring.
