Site V missing and dangling
This week, The Brooklyn Paper reported some chatter about the building planned for Atlantic Yards Site V, which was missing from the most recent rendering released by architect Frank Gehry.
And the so-called Building Five, which would sit on the opposite side of the Atlantic and Flatbush bowtie intersection, is also no longer part of any Forest City Ratner renderings, the latest suggestion that Gehry will not be the designer of that part of the project. (A source told The Brooklyn Paper that the developer has dangled the site to other architects, including the controversial Robert Scarano, but no decisions have been made.)
NoLandGrab: Just when you thought the project couldn't be more loathsome, imagine the collective groan that would follow, if Scarano was named the architect for Site V, the current site of PC Richard and Modell's.
