Flashback, 2012: Atlantic Yards Flack Claims Retail Changes Equal Railyard Revamp (link). The subheading is "Today, the unfinished project leaves a "scar" that was supposedly gone. 'Blasé Bruce Ratner' ignores it."
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.
