"Brooklyn-born" Gehry claim gone from AY web site; what about "Downtown Brooklyn?"
Atlantic Yards Report
Last week, as I reported, Forest City Ratner was still claiming, on its official Atlantic Yards web site that architect Frank Gehry was born in Brooklyn.
That's not true, and it was confirmed in the architect's own words.
Now that the whistle has been blown a couple of times, the developer has tweaked the page at issue, and the Brooklyn-born" claim has been excised.
What about "Downtown Brooklyn"?
If Forest City Ratner is aiming for fidelity, maybe it's time to reconsider the claim that Atlantic Yards is in Downtown Brooklyn.
NoLandGrab: Atlantic Yards is in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
