The Changing Downtown B’klyn Skyline
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Linda Collins
Despite the shocking newspaper headlines and the doom and gloom TV reports about the economic crisis, construction appears to be moving forward on several Downtown Brooklyn projects and, as Dennis Holt notes (see above), these projects will be changing the downtown skyline forever.
...
These do not include the Atlantic Yards project with its close to 50-story Miss Brooklyn planned for Atlantic and Flatbush. Although delayed by law suits, Forest City Ratner still expects to break ground for the arena component before the end of the year.
NoLandGrab: For once, an article doesn't toe the party line and slip Atlantic Yards into "Downtown Brooklyn," though it is hard to imagine that Bruce Ratner could manage anything other than a ceremonial-fantasy groundbreaking this year, because lawsuits continue to tie up the transfer of property.
