NY Post exclusive:
Developer Bruce Ratner starts demolition today on the first of the buildings standing in the way of his $3.5 billion NBA arena and skyscraper complex in Brooklyn.
Officials with Ratner's Forest City Ratner Companies said Gateway Demolition would raze the decrepit, four-story Underberg Building on Atlantic Avenue, which earned a prominent spot in Jonathan Lethem's acclaimed Brooklyn memoir, "Fortress of Solitude."
...
Ratner paid Gateway $1.3 million to tear down the Underberg and several other buildings in the area.
