On Monday night, July 17, I took a walk around/near the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park site, along Flatbush Avenue and Dean Street, mostly.
Is 535 Carlton, pictured below, filling up? If you go by the number of lights, no. Then again, a good number of apartments in the presumably full public housing tower (back, right) don't have lights on, either. So it's murky.
But if the numbers were great, at this and the other buildings, wouldn't they have told us at the last
public meeting? (Expect an update in the next quarterly report of Forest City Realty Trust, coming August 3.)

Below, 461 Dean, somewhat later in the evening. Not so many lights on there.

Below, 550 Vanderbilt. Note that only the lower seven floors have been
up for rent (by owners of condo units), though the building has a
Certificate of Occupancy covering almost all the building.

Below, four new(ish) food locations on Flatbush Avenue not far from the Barclays Center. Maybe all but one need signage to "pop"?

Below, the former Bergen Tile site at Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue, not part of Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park, opposite the arena and 461 Dean. Note the narrowed street.

At Sixth Avenue and Dean Street, the former Dubai Deli site is up for rent.

The new 670 Pacific rental building sure is using Brooklyn Nets colors.

Dean Street residents between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues have an
understandable concern about illegal parking, a giant fence, and a narrowed street.

One of the main offenders is the post office annex, though I couldn't see any identification regarding the car parked on the sidewalk.
