Jane's Walk NYC 2025: A Megaproject Unresolved: What Happened with Atlantic Yards? (May 2)
05/02/2025 06:00 PM - 07:30 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
Hugely controversial when proposed (in 2003) and later approved, the megaproject Atlantic Yards (in 2014 renamed Pacific Park Brooklyn), remains at a crossroads. See what’s been built (the Barclays Center, home to the Brooklyn Nets, plus 8 of 15-16 towers) and what remains: delayed plans for a costly deck over an MTA railyard for 6 towers, plus a two-tower project opposite the arena.
With watchdog journalist Norman Oder, learn Atlantic Yards’ tangled history, uncertain timetable, changing designs (and ownership), and current questions about foreclosure and an affordable housing deadline. Issues include public accountability, open space, arena design/operations, and the changing neighborhood/Brooklyn context, including a push for new development nearby.
We will walk around part of the 22-acre site's perimeter, plus a few adjacent blocks.
