From the start of its redevelopment, NYC3 was planned and sited to withstand a hundred-year storm. NYC3 is located within Flood Zone “C” and during Hurricane Sandy the high storm surge stopped two blocks from 375 Pearl Street. The retrofit building holds 255,000 gallons of backup diesel fuel for its generators with redundant fuel suppliers on call to provide added capacity. In addition, all critical infrastructure systems can withstand a storm surge of more than 50-feet.
