We’re very excited to announce the availability of our newest hotspot in Jackson Square Park at Greenwich Avenue and Eighth Avenue in the West Village. This hotspot is a partnership with Hines, the developers of the One Jackson Square building that is next to the park.

One Jackson Square Brings FREE HIGHSPEED INTERNET to Jackson Square Park

Providing Greenwich Village with Free Public Hotspot

NEW YORK, NY — February 1, 2008 — As of February 1, Jackson Square Park visitors will have the opportunity to share something in common beyond mere geographical proximity in a charming urban oasis. Compliments of One Jackson Square, the neighboring luxury residential condominium being constructed by Hines and RFR, Greenwich Village’s Jackson Square Park will become a New York City “hotspot” with a free high-speed, wireless internet connection.

“Greenwich Village residents have a rich history of appreciating public space as an arena for communication, whether in the form of political activism, artistic performance, or other forms of urban experience,” explained Hines Vice President David Penick. “In the spirit of strengthening the sense of community and neighborhood in and around Jackson Square Park came our desire to sponsor a free, public hotspot.”

But park-goers aren’t the only people who will benefit from the Jackson Square Park Hotspot. Nearby residents, pedestrians and businesses also will be able to tap into its high-speed signal. “It’s a great neighborhood amenity,” explained Penick. “Residents whose homes are adjacent to the park will also benefit from the Wi-Fi Hotspot. It’s really the Jackson Square Park neighborhood that will become a hotspot of activity.”

This arrangement comes courtesy of the developers’ partnership with NYCwireless, a non-profit organization instrumental in turning Bryant Park, Madison Square Park, City Hall Park, Wagner Park in Battery Park City, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Vietnam Veterans Plaza and many others into free public hotspots. The Jackson Square Park Hotspot will be featured on NYCwireless’ listing and map of free New York City hotspots at http://www.nycwireless.net
