Lowest 1-BR rent: $2,430?
$100K+ as "affordable" min.?
Promised faster buildout would dampen increases in base rents, but skyrocketing AMI has taken its toll.

More acreage would come with a larger percentage increase in apartments.
Still, a better layout would help.

"Today's context," they say, justifies bigger buildings. But the 2005 appraisal & bid for MTA development rights envisioned less bulk. Value of boost: $320M?

Attendees a mix of wary and welcoming
Taller towers (& one subtraction) allow more open space.

1.6M more square feet (value: $320M?) sought, said to make project & affordability viable.
Subsidies unclear

Will "Community Engagement," starting tonight, help shape a new #AtlanticYards #PacificParkBK plan or ratify what's already cooking?

The coalition has worthy words on affordable housing, density, open space, & accountability.
But it shouldn't ignore the likely concessions, the trade-offs, & the bad faith.

The first Atlantic Yards Project Director came clean after leaving her post.

The Pacific Park Conservancy is an unaccountable phantom.
Is the new JV taking over Atlantic Yards even involved?
Also, shouldn't the arena operator have to pay for a permanent plaza?

What's next: new shapes? more towers? fewer towers?

Does new map, w/o 6 railyard tower sites outlined, suggest potential reconfiguration?
Would public input have much effect?

Was the key element debt regarding the B1/Site 5 parcels, or advantageous contract language in the 2nd EB-5 loan?
What about the EB-5 middleman? The explanations don't fully make sense

The project is moving ahead, but we don't know the proposed scale, scope, affordability, & design, nor what public concessions new developers will seek.
New deadline = 2040s?

Below-market apartments are smaller. Might they occupy <40% of square footage? Stay tuned
Same for the revised Atlantic Yards?
