(Bi-)Weekly Digest: Would Related "Rescue" Atlantic Yards or Wrangle Concessions? (link)
If new developer wants New York State authority to back a supersized project before entering the deal, wouldn't that make future public review meaningless?
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.
