The New York Wheel, when opened on Staten Island in Spring 2018, will be the world’s tallest at 630 feet. Starting Monday, the first major components of the ferris wheel – pieces of the four legs – were unloaded at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park, a location managed on behalf of the city by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). The location could not be more fitting, showcasing the revitalization of Brooklyn’s working waterfront with a direct view to the future site of the New York Wheel.
