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 approximately 18,000 seat arena, 16 buildings for residential, office, retail, community facilities, parking, and possibly hotel uses, including approximately 5,790 to 6,860 low, moderate and market-rate housing units, and a minimum of 7 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.
