After 14 years of on-and-off progress, construction pace at Brooklyn’s Pacific Park megadevelopment, formerly known as Atlantic Yards, finally kicks into high gear. On Friday, the New York Post announced that Greenland Forest Partners plans to start erecting the platform atop the below-grade Long Island Rail Road tracks along Atlantic Avenue. Moreover, the group shared a fresh rendering of the sites between Sixth and Carlton avenues that will fill a gaping chasm between the neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill to the north with Prospect Heights with a residential corridor along a forlorn stretch of Atlantic Avenue.
The news comes on the heels of continued progress at 18 Sixth Avenue, which recently rose above street level in its ascent toward the 551-foot-high pinnacle. The glass-clad, 50-story building, situated directly east of Barclay Center at site B4, will hold 812 units, 258 of which would be affordable. Together with 461 Dean and 30 6th Avenue, the tower helps integrate the massive arena into the neighborhood fabric, activating the street corner with pedestrian presence.

At the moment, five of Pacific Park’s 15 buildings are complete. Given the high quality of buildings such as 535 Carlton and 550 Vanderbilt, the recent announcement spells a promising future for a crucial section of central Brooklyn. 550 Vanderbilt, Pacific Park's only finished condo building, currently has 10 apartments available priced from $649K to $6 million. Available rentals in throughout the plan start at $2,490/month.
