New York City's US$2.0 billion applied-sciences island campus—built on a $1/year municipal ground lease with net-zero and Passive House towers.
Born from NYC's Applied Sciences competition and $350M+ in foundational gifts from Chuck Feeney's Atlantic Philanthropies and [Michael Bloomberg](/entity/michael-bloomberg), Cornell Tech's US$2.0 billion masterplan transforms 12 East River acres (leased from NYC for $1/year over 99 years) into 2.0 million sq ft of net-zero academic, startup ('The Bridge'), and Passive House residential towers.

Cornell Tech takes #9 behind Imperial White City (#8) and ahead of HKU's Pokfield Campus (#10). Like HKU, Cornell Tech's $2.0B figure represents pure vertical construction and geothermal/solar engineering—excluding Manhattan-adjacent land value thanks to NYC's $1/year ground lease.
