Brownstoner double whammy
Prepping for Something Big at City Tech
Brownstoner has got the news that soil testing is underway for "City Tech Tower," a joint venture between the school and Forest City Ratner. According to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the current plan is for an un-tower-like 350,000-square-foot academic building of eight or nine stories.
Development Watch: Atlantic Terrace Tops Out
While no one can reliably tell you when Forest City Ratner affordable housing will get built at Atlantic Yards, Brownstoner is reporting that the Fifth Avenue Committee just topped out the Atlantic Terrace project, directly across the street from the project everyone loves to loathe.
This place is great news in terms of affordable housing: Roughly 70 percent of the units are earmarked for low- and moderate-earners.
NoLandGrab: Case in point, if Bruce Ratner was truly focused on building affordable housing, his megadevelopment scheme would be well on its way by now.
