“Our partnership with Skylight made ‘Moynihan Station’ a New York destination years before anyone could catch a train there. Skylight at Moynihan deliberately reinvented one of the city’s historic, yet overlooked, treasures to attract the industries that drive New York today: culture, fashion, media, and technology. These industries now define the emerging neighborhoods around Farley.”
