The Port Imperial Street Circuit was first announced in October 2011 to host the Grand Prix of America, a race of the FIA Formula One World Championship. The track was to be on the west side of the Hudson River, directly across from New York City. Originally intended to debut on the calendar in 2013, the race was subject to a series of postponements and delays stemming from financial difficulties, failure to obtain approval from the FIA, a lack of preparedness from organisers, and a contractual dispute. After the track was dropped from the 2013 calendar, Bernie Ecclestone stated that the organizers were in breach of contract. Eventually the circuit idea was dropped, despite the pit building being mostly completed.
As of 2022, the almost complete pit building had been razed, and an office and condominium complex was under construction at the site.
