In an exclusive fed yesterday to the New York Post's Steve Cuozzo, More than 1K new apartments coming to Barclays Center area, we learn that not only is Greenland Forest City Partners proceeding with B4 (now dubbed 18 Sixth Avenue), the giant tower at the northeast corner of the arena block, it has sold three remaining sites on terra firm to another development partnership

Quote:

This new surprise--there's always something--means that 664 Pacific, the tower with a school planned just east of the arena block, might get started early next year, with the long-delayed middle school likely by 2021. It also means that Pacific Park (formerly Atlantic Yards) will in fact be accelerated by the presence of multiple developers.

Quote:

The deals are expected to close at the end of this year, according to the Post. Greenland also reiterated to the Post, as it has stated before, that it would break ground "in early 2019" on B4, next to the arena, and supplied a rendering. It did not, however, discuss the unit mix, including the number of affordable units.

B4, at 511 feet, was long slated to be the second-tallest and second-bulkiest tower, after B1, aka Miss Brooklyn. It would retain that status even if most of the B1 bulk gets moved across the street to Site 5, as is planned. As of August 2014, B4 was to be a mixed building, with 213 condos and 551 rentals, half of them affordable. Condos now are less likely.

Brodsky principal Dean Amro said its site at 664 Pacific St., would be the first new Pacific Park project to rise. “We hope to start construction in the first quarter of 2019,” he said. The building will include some 300 rental apartments, about 30 percent of them affordable, atop a new middle school.

Jeremy Shell, a principal of TF Cornerstone, said its buildings at 615 and 595 Dean St., at the complex’s eastern end, need a bit more time. “We’re planning our buildings within the site’s design guidelines, basically a 12-18 month process,” before construction will start. Cornerstone’s pair will have a total of 800 rental apartments as well as stores and parking facilities.

Meanwhile, Greenland/Forest City said it’s begun designing a deck over the sunken Long Island Rail Road train yard which runs along the site’s northern edge. That will allow development to start at six sites along Atlantic Avenue between Sixth Avenue and Pacific Street.

Pacific Park’s Newest 750-Unit Tower Revealed At 18 Sixth Avenue In Prospect Park, Brooklyn

https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...an-777x979.jpg

Quote:

Details have been revealed for an enormous new 750-unit residential tower at 18 6th Avenue, in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The site is right beside the Barclays Center and is part of Pacific Park, formerly known as Atlantic Yards, a multi-billion dollar 22-acre mega-project that has already seen the completion of four of fifteen eventual buildings. TF Cornerstone and The Brodsky Organization have also now joined Greenland Forest City Partners to finish the project, acquiring land where three of the prospective future skyscrapers will imminently rise.

Perkins Eastman will design 18 6th Avenue, named B4 for now, which will still be built by Greenland-Forest City. While permits have not been filed yet, construction is expected to start by the spring of 2019. The structure is expected to be over 500 feet tall, with previous information stating that the site will yield over 740,000 square feet for roughly 200 condominiums and 550 rentals. Half of the rentals will let as affordable, with the other half leasing at market rates.

Developer Greenland USA is shifting its plans to transform the site at 18 Sixth Avenue, part of the Pacific Park megadevelopment, into a residential building with both rentals and condos. Instead of 764 apartments, of which 551 were set to be rentals and 213 were slated to become condos, the building will now be comprised entirely of rentals, reports The Real Deal.

Quote:

Per TRD, the developer filed plans for an 810-unit building on Saturday, which is set to also include 52,000 square feet of commercial space. Perkins Eastman has been tapped to design the new building, and it will be tallest within the Pacific Park development, once complete.

Is this the old "Miss Brooklyn" site originally designed by Gehry?

No, that's on the other side of Barclays Center.

^And will never happen in any form because it's evident people are big fans of the public space in front of Barclays. It works better that way.

Yes, and the "Miss Brooklyn" air rights have been transferred across the street, to the huge office tower site.

Brodsky Organization doubles down on Pacific Park complex

Powerhouse residential developer Brodsky has joined master site developer Greenland Forest City Partners in a joint venture to develop 18 Sixth Ave., a long-planned, 859-unit apartment tower next door to Barclays Center along the complex’s Atlantic Avenue side.

The deal will further accelerate progress at Pacific Park, where the pace is finally picking up after a 13-year go-slow.

Groundbreaking is to take place within two weeks. The $640 million tower is to be finished in 2022. “We’re a multigenerational family business and we’re bullish on Brooklyn,” said Dean Amro, a Brodsky principal, explaining the company’s long- and short-term perspectives.

Quote:

Brodsky has developed, owned and managed more than 8,000 apartment units in the city. It’s already working on a different Pacific Park apartment building, 664 Pacific St.

Brodsky controls that site outright, having bought rights from Greenland Forest City last year. Greenland Forest City, of which Greenland USA owns 95 percent, also sold two other Pacific Park sites to TF Cornerstone.

Solish said that Greenland has nearly completed infrastructure work on the exposed LIRR train yard beneath the site, “which will let us start to build a platform” over the open cut.

TF Cornerstone meanwhile is working on designs for the two parcels it controls on Dean Street.

Brooklyn’s Pacific Park moves to fast track

Brooklyn’s Pacific Park, which was slow in coming after it was launched 14 years ago as Atlantic Yards, has finally hit the fast track.

Greenland Forest City Partners, which controls development rights to many of the complex’s building sites, plans to start construction in 2020 of a long-awaited platform over the site’s sunken LIRR train yard, the Greenland group’s Executive VP Scott Solish said.

Of 15 planned buildings, only five have opened so far. But a sixth is going up now, and the completed deck will finally allow work to start on three more to rise along the complex’s Atlantic Avenue side between Sixth Avenue and Pacific Street.

The development partnership also shared for the first time an image of four new apartment towers and a public park on the 22-acre site east of Barclays Center where Atlantic and Flatbush avenues converge.

One tower, 18 Sixth Avenue, is under construction and due to open in late 2021 or early 2022. That $649 million project is a joint venture of Greenland Forest City Partners and the Brodsky Organization, as The Post first reported.

The three towers to the east of it are being developed by the Greenland group alone. Brodsky is separately also working on another Pacific Park tower, 664 Pacific Street, while TF Cornerstone has development rights to two other sites.

This is going to be very nice.
