Does multifamily rebound mean good news for Atlantic Yards housing?

From Miller Samuel's excerpt of TerraCRG’s Brooklyn Commercial Market Report:
Brooklyn Transitions from Affordable Manhattan Alternative to Destination 
Multifamily sales are expected to continue to show strengths and we expect volume to increase in 2013 as institutional owners and large portfolio owners try to take advantage of the low yield expectation and bring large portfolios to market before the low interest rate environment changes. Brooklyn’s strong market fundamentals mean residential rents in core and transitional neighborhoods will continue to increase aggressively as more residents call Brooklyn their home. To these new residents, Brooklyn is no longer a more affordable alternative to Manhattan, it’s a destination. This upside opportunity will attract investors that so far concentrated their efforts on Manhattan to buy multifamily buildings in Brooklyn.
This should make developers of the first Atlantic Yards residential building more optimistic about aggressive rents, at least if they can fix that noise-leaking arena.
