Baruch-lyn
The NY Observer Real Estate Blog checks up on Brooklyn Paper's Ed Weintrob's claims on WNYC's Brian Leher Show that Baruch College once had plans to develop on the now coveted Atlantic Railyard property.
Not only are the claims true, but NYO also unearthed a blast from the past (or is it deja vu all over again, and again...)?
Incidentally, at the time, Brooklyn Beep Sebastian Leone was pushing for an indoor sports stadium for the parcel between Atlantic and Hanson. Paul Kerrigan, chairman of the Fort Greene Nonprofit Improvement Corporation, asked at the public hearing for Baruch: "Will we continue to be threatened with a megalomaniac white elephant of a sports stadium that would devastate our community and surrounding area?"
