OK, sometime in the past few days Empire State Development (ESD), the state authority that oversees/shepherds the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park project, posted the presentation from the 5/10/22 Quality of Life meeting, which I've added below, and also to my coverage the next morning. 
There isn't much revealing in the slideshow, but I have excerpted, at right, one slide, which is a helicopter perspective, looking west/southwest, at the western end of the railyard and the B4 tower (aka 18 Sixth Ave., or Brooklyn Crossing), which flanks the Barclays Center.
The arrow, which I added, points to the location of the planned B5 tower, the first one over the railyard. The railyard platform is expected to start next month. I suspect at least one foundation for the tower will also be installed by the June 15 deadline to qualify for the current 421-a tax break.
The tower is expected to go vertical next year, and should take two years to build.
B5 is slated to be about 77% of the height (and 71% of the bulk) of the B4 tower, with a T-shape that allows for limited segments of green open space flanking the building to the north at Atlantic Avenue and the south at Pacific Street.
