Who Controls the Arena Plaza? New York State's Explanation Left Something Out ( link ) Complex transactions involving the (unbuilt) flagship tower and the Barclays Center operator were envisioned. Shouldn't BSE Global pay to gain a permanent plaza?
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.
