Ratner’s Yards pretty dense
Brooklyn Papers:
The architect, Johnathan Cohn, came up with the startling conclusion that the 17-acre residential and office village slated to surround Bruce Ratner’s proposed Nets arena would include as much built space, per acre, as the Ground Zero project, which will include more than 8 million square feet of office and commercial space plus the world’s tallest building, the Freedom Tower.Cohn used a standard city zoning measurement called the floor-to-area ratio, or FAR, to compare Ground Zero’s bulk with that of Ratner’s 9.1-million-square-foot residential and commercial development.
