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.
no mention in the times of dddb's offer to buy the yards. quel suprise.
ReplyDeleteso what does this mean? is there still a fight here? i feel like i just got run down by a steamroller.
DDDB's offer was not taken seriously. It was hardly fleshed out, of course, but DDDB insists it was not a stunt.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the AY battles are not over.
