How will Ratner’s stadium and 4,500 new housing units impact Downtown Brooklyn?
"Prospect Heights sits inside, and adjacent to, the Nets development in
Brooklyn, known as Atlantic Yards. No other neighborhood will be potentially helped
more, or hurt, by the barrage of construction. Altogether, there would be
4,500 housing units, 2.1 million square feet of office space, 300,000 square feet
of retail space, 3,000 parking spots and six acres of public open space. The
stadium, at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues, will sit atop
the Long Island Rail Road rail yard."
