In 1987, the City of New York signed a 15-year agreement entrusting BPC with sole responsibility for managing, programming, and improving the park, whereupon it was closed for a four-year renovation.

BPC's plan also included restoring the park's monuments, renovating its long-closed restrooms, and building two restaurant pavilions and four permanent food kiosks.

The renovation included adding a public restroom and permanent food kiosk to each park, as well as installing horticultural elements, chairs, and tables.

34SP has worked with shop owners on 34th Street to improve the appearance of store frontage and to curtail the use of opaque steel doors during closing hours.

BRV works for real estate developers, government agencies, and non-profit organizations (and often a combination of the three), as well as professional sports teams, to conceive and execute concepts that provide communities with new and innovative amenities.

BRV has led many of the most value-creating urban redevelopment projects in the United States, beginning in 1980 at Bryant Park, which at the time was a troubled public space that hurt the values of the real estate that surrounded it.
