Nostradamus? No, MaryAnne Gilmartin!

MaryAnne Gilmartin, executive vice president of commercial and residential development at Forest City Ratner Companies, predicted it would happen.

At a meeting of the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable in February, when she was giving an update on the Barclays Center Arena and the Atlantic Yards development, she said that within the year construction might begin on the development’s first residential building closest to the arena.

Indeed, a permit application was filed Aug. 16 with the city’s Department of Buildings (DOB) for the new building.

Emphasis, ours.
