Enjoy the show —movies will stay, Goldman says
Downtown Express By Ronda Kaysen
In this article about Forest City Ratner's sale of a Lower Manhattan property, which includes the only movie theater below Houston Street, Ratner is described as the developer:
"who is currently developing the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and a 75-story Beekman St. tower in Lower Manhattan."
NoLandGrab: This description is proof that Central Brooklyn's unprecedented land-use disaster is beginning to be recognized citywide, though the facts are still unclear in the press.
For the record, the "Atlantic Yards" project was made "official" by the Empire State Development Corporation last week. Hearings, approvals, eminent domain condemnations and litigation are still pending.
