Correcting a misleading Daily News photo/caption regarding condemnation
Atlantic Yards Report
It's not a major detail, but a photo accompanying a Daily News article concerning a judge's decision to allow condemnations for the Atlantic Yards project includes a misleading caption:
Some of the property in the picture above will be knocked down for the Atlantic Yards project.
Actually, none of the property pictured will be demolished thanks to the decision by Justice Abraham Gerges.
Only the two buildings in the center of the photo are private property within the Atlantic Yards site, and both of them--Lots 19 and 28 of Block 1120 (see map below)--are scheduled not for the first phase of condemnation, but an unspecified later phase.
That saves Forest City Ratner cash and gives it more time to work on the upgraded railyard.
