Learning from Verizon Center
Brooklyn Views
The following mantra from the Atlantic Yards Environmental Impact Statement is repeated in response to several comments submitted by the public:
“Experience has shown that arenas and other sports facilities thrive in combination with a strong mix of commercial and residential land uses, both as proposed elements of a larger master plan or as a catalyst for urban development.”
Brooklyn Views contemplates what "experience HAS shown," by taking a serious look at another mixed-use arena complex.
The genesis of the Verizon Center in D.C. sounds very familiar to those who have been following the Atlantic Yards debate closely.
