Coney Island Holdings LLC, proposed development of the Seaside Park and Community Arts Center in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. The project would develop 2.41 acres of publicly accessible open space with a 5,100-seat seasonal amphitheater for concerts and other events as well as restore the landmarked (Former) Childs Restaurant Building for reuse as a restaurant and banquet facility. The building also would be renovated for adaptive reuse to provide the stage area for an open-air concert venue and use as an indoor entertainment venue during the off-season months. As part of the environmental consultant team headed by Philip Habib & Associates, SEA addressed noise from increased traffic and outdoor concerts in conjunction with Cerami & Associates.
