From the official Atlantic Yards web site, a page in need of significant correction, given the news of the Atlantic Yards stall.
This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, concerns the $6B project to build the Barclays Center arena & 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland USA bought a 70% stake going forward. In 2018, once the arena & four towers were built, Greenland bought out most of Forest City's stake, then sold three leases to other companies.
If you're looking for a site that needs freshening badly, why not try BUILD's website: http://www.buildbrooklyn.org?
ReplyDeleteThe "News" page hasn't had anything added since July of 2005.
The message board on the site (http://www.buildbrooklyn.org/forum/index.php) hasn't had a post since 2007, and those from 2007 are simply spam.
The "Facts and Myths" page (http://www.buildbrooklyn.org/index.php?sect_id=fact ) contains outright lies that were exposed long ago, but haven't apparently been updated since 2004.
It's worth a visit to those who enjoy poking around in cluttered attics.
BUILD is not dead, but you wouldn't know it by its website.
