The north shore of New York City’s Staten Island near its ferry connection with Lower Manhattan may become the home of a Ferris wheel bigger than the London Eye, according to a person familiar with the potential deal.
A bid from New York’s Plaza Capital Group Management LLC to build the attraction leads four other proposals to develop the area in the southernmost borough, said a person briefed on the matter who wasn’t authorized to speak about it. The other four bids, which proposed mixes of office and commercial space, are far behind the wheel idea, the person said. The news was reported earlier by the Staten Island Advance.
