Gateway USA

Summary

Gateway USA^TM is a proposed permanent trade exposition to be located in New Jersey on the Hudson River Waterfront. The purpose of having such a facility in New Jersey is to provide a central location where overseas buyers can interact with American vendors and technology.

The concept for this facility is modeled after the successful Taipei World Trade Center in Taiwan, which was established as a comprehensive one-stop shop for visiting traders whereby a visitor can view a trade show, sign bulk orders, attend a conference, research Taiwan's trading scene, make travel arrangements and then walk to their hotel. The Taipei facility attracts numerous international world-class trade shows yearly and can accommodate more than 10,000 convention delegates.

The Expo Center would be compromised of five main exposition buildings totaling 2.2 million sq. ft. connected by a series of atria. Each building would focus on a different sector of America's marketplace, such as electronics and communications, manufacturing, medical, chemical and pharmaceutical, natural resources and energy as well as consumer goods. The Center would house over 3,000 permanent exhibit units, a total of approximately 650,000 sq. ft., where companies could display their products and services on a permanent basis. Also included within the Center would be approximately 400,000 sq. ft. of show space for various trade shows. The center would also have approximately 160,000 sq. ft. for trade association offices and other support facilities, 400,000 sq. ft. of common space, and 640,000 sq. ft. of atria space.

The proposed project site is over 400 acres, of which 3,750,00 sq. ft. is projected for commercial and 3,780,000 sq. ft. for residential building. The area would also contain cultural amenities including three hotels, a marina and restaurants.
