How is developer Forest City Ratner's plan to raise money for Atlantic Yards from foreign investors in exchange for green cards (thanks to a formerly obscure federal program) going? Pretty darn well! The WSJ reports that Ratner has final commitments for $249 million from 498 investors. Welcome to the country! The story also notes that the same type of unorthodox financing will soon be used in an attempt to get the Battery Maritime Building hotel finally built. Remember that crazy thing? [WSJ; previously]
