The Real Deal: Ratner Buys Atlantic Yards Property
Forest City Ratner has purchased a property in the Atlantic Yards footprint for the first time in more than two years, The Real Deal reported yesterday.
...The developer, who last purchased property in the area in February 2007, has bought and demolished many of the properties in the footprint but a number of others are still in private hands, including those of nine property owners and tenants who are challenging the developer’s intent to take control of them via eminent domain, The Real Deal said.
Brooklyn Broadside: Federal Stimulus Funds Could Start a Gov’t Building Boom
Dennis Holt takes a look at Brooklyn building projects getting stimulus money (Atlantic Yards is, thus far, not on that list), and remains supremely confident that Atlantic Yards will be built.
