Empire State Development issued the following
statement in response to State Supreme Court
Justice Joan Madden’s decision dismissing the
challenge to the Atlantic Yards Environmental
Impact Statement:
“For the fourth time, a court has affirmed
the state’s actions in the Atlantic Yards
project. We are very pleased with Justice
Madden’s decision and look forward to
construction of the arena, housing and other
facets of this important, transformative
development project.”
The New York State Urban Development
Corporation, d/b/a Empire State Development
Corporation (ESDC) in conjunction with the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the
City of New York, and affiliates of the Forest
City Ratner Companies, including Atlantic Yards
Development Company, LLC and Brooklyn Arena,
LLC, proposes to implement the Atlantic Yards
Arena and Redevelopment project, a major
transit-oriented development in the Atlantic
Terminal area of Brooklyn.
The proposed project would occupy an
approximately 22-acre area, roughly bounded by
Flatbush and 4th Avenues on the west, Vanderbilt
Avenue on the east, Atlantic Avenue on the
north, and Dean and Pacific Streets on the
south.
The proposed development would include an arena, 16 buildings
for residential, office, retail, community
facilities, parking, and possibly hotel uses,
including approximately 5,325 to 6,430
affordable and market-rate housing units, and
8 acres of publicly accessible open
space.
The proposed project would also reconfigure and
improve the Vanderbilt rail yard and improve
access to the Atlantic Terminal subway station.
