Ward Bakery Is Toast
The Real Estate Observer
Forest City Ratner sent out a press release on Thursday saying that the former Ward Bread Bakery at Pacific and Vanderbilt streets in Prospect Heights was next in line for the Atlantic Yards treatment, with abatement and demolition scheduled to begin Monday.
Get this, Bruce Ratner is hoping to appease the masses and tastemakers by certifying that over 75% of the Ward Bakery building will be recycled!
But don't cry too hard, because the building, the target of an unsuccessful landmarking attempt, will come back in its next life as an insect or something: Some 75 percent of the demolition debris will be recycled.
