Willoughby plaza at Marriott nears OK
The Brooklyn Papers offers a dismal summary of one of Ratner's 'open spaces':
A space needs something that will make it a destination, not just a pass-through.”That “something” never made a destination of the large pedestrian plaza a few blocks northeast of Willoughby Street — a commons area at the center of Forest City Ratner’s Metrotech office campus.
Though well-maintained and safe, the planter-bedecked Metrotech plaza feels more like a parking lot with benches than a vibrant public space.
