A major change happening around the Barclays Center is that the Atlantic Yards housing-offices-and-retail megaproject has just been rebranded as "Pacific Park." Whatever its called, the Forest City Ratner project and its game-changing, "catalyst" centerpiece, Barclays Center, is also sparking a building boom in the area. It may not be megaproject-level, but a developer is attempting join that boom again, after meeting community resistance to plans to put up a planned mixed-use rental building at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Dean Streets. The triangular site straddles the Park Slope-Prospect Heights border, located right across from Barclays and the modular residential tower B2. TRD reports that PRD Realty will re-file plans for the site within two weeks, including 58 apartments, 100-plus parking spaces, and ground-floor retail.
Prior designs didn't include parkingwhich is why PRD sought a variance to build without itand the building was only six stories; now it will be eight. The proposed rentals will rise on the site of the former Bergen Tile Company.
PRD President Martin Damansky told The Real Deal that it plans to break ground on the project before the end of 2014.
