Sky's the limit on pre-fab towers for Atlantic Yards developer
The Brooklyn Blog [NYPost.com]

In case you've been wondering, the Steve Jobs of real estate developers is... Bruce Ratner!
There’s a lot more riding on whether developer Bruce Ratner can build the world’s tallest pre-fabricated building than just completing Brooklyn’s long-delayed Atlantic Yards project.
Ratner’s company stands to position itself as the go-to developer for what could become a soaring modular-building industry.
Bob Sanna, executive vice president of Forest City Ratner Cos., said yesterday that the company is willing to “share” such technology and is open to also factory-building “modules” for other developers to build modular towers.
“This is our iPhone moment,” Sanna said during a real estate roundtable hosted by the Brooklyn Historical Society.
