Pacific Park
Living in New York, you can just feel that
is the hub of any major infrastructure project in the US. One such project
which is happening just a mile away from I live is the Pacific Park project. This
project is concerned with the redevelopment of 22 acres in downtown Brooklyn
which would make way for 6 million square feet for residential space,
transforming the Barclays Center into a state-of-the-art sports, entertainment
and cultural centre, 1.6 million commercial space as well as lots of open
space.
“The project
also includes major transportation improvements, including a new storage and
maintenance facility for the LIRR and a new subway entrance to the Atlantic
Terminal Transit Hub, the third largest hub in the City” (Pacific Park
Brooklyn). The project has been delayed several times already; the new expected
start date is 2035. An interesting feature about this complex is the fact that the
world's tallest modular apartment building, 461 Dean, already opened in
November 2016.
