Lessons from Twists in Brooklyn Marine Terminal & Coney Island Development Dramas normanoder.substack.com/p/lessons-fr... For #AtlanticYards, does this mean that new promises and safeguards get a "big thing" done in the name of "abundance"? Or is a rethink possible?

With New York Liberty exiting the playoffs after the first round, how long will the Liberty Portraits (honoring 2024 WNBA title) stay up on the Barclays Center's Ticketmaster Plaza? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/with...

Bus Priority Plan on Flatbush Avenue Would Leave Little Slack Near Barclays Center normanoder.substack.com/p/bus-priori... With "No Standing" in pockets near arena, wouldn't enforcement would be needed to prevent congestion? Also, change in Pacific St. direction could challenge Site 5 construction.

#AtlanticYards Digest: Early Sept. Catch-Up normanoder.substack.com/p/digest-ear... A BSE Global street festival emerges; rising NY Liberty prices; pending fines for #affordablehousing (highlighted by @jabaribrisport.bsky.social); new owners push retail near #BarclaysCenter

So, how was BSE Global's Planet Brooklyn festival, at #BarclaysCenter, & block parties outside BAM? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/so-h... Lots of fun reported, especially by promoter-associated media. More noise complaints and illegal vendors, too.

New owners of former Pintchik properties now pitching "The Retail at Flatbush and Bergen," with a wobbly map/image + #BarclaysCenter upfront. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/new-... Coming: Xi'an Famous Foods, Skinny Louie's.

470 Vanderbilt office building, across Atlantic Ave. from #AtlanticYards site (and once contemplated for AY housing), sold again, this time for a big loss atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/09/470-...

Barclays Center releases September 2025 calendar: eight ticketed events, plus the (TBD) WNBA Playoffs. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/barc... Also: Brooklyn Basketball youth Training Center opens Sept. 25 at former Modell's site across from arena.

@jabaribrisport.bsky.social goes to bat, on video, to enforce #AtlanticYards affordable housing penalties. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/sen-... (What about Dem. Mayoral nominee Mamdani?) @davidfbrand.bsky.social @gothamist.com

Here come the tours! Barclays Center, following MSG's lead, now offers tours of the venue. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/here...

Flashback to 2014 Videos: "Pacific Park, Brooklyn's Newest Neighborhood"? A "Neighborhood From Scratch"? normanoder.substack.com/p/flashback-... It was a stretch then, with no open space. It's more dubious now. Was CookFox designing "for us" or (Chinese) condo buyers? #AtlanticYards

In article on modular construction, @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social discloses that ill-fated 461 Dean #AtlanticYards was the subject of three post-construction audits atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/in-a... (My post links to my original investigation)

More details (stages, lineups), belatedly, about the Planet Brooklyn street festival this weekend around BAM, put on by BSE Global atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/more...

Angela Yee Day tomorrow at #BarclaysCenter is part of Planet Brooklyn. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/ange... The festival's "Village" block party will close six streets around the Brooklyn Academy of Music this weekend. 1/

Updated/corrected re Liberty Portraits at Barclays Center. Issue is not whether it might span 120 sq. ft., says Department of Buildings, but rather that these installations are under 10 feet tall & thus considered "props," which do *not* require a permit

New DOT/MTA plan to speed buses on Flatbush Avenue would dedicate bus lanes at center, add boarding islands. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/new-... Might limit illegal idling/parking around Barclays Center (though it could be shunted off to other streets)

And anything pertaining to Atlantic Yards (which has since been renamed Pacific Park Brooklyn), the person who has been documenting every twist and turn—meticulously, with a truly remarkable degree of dedication—is @normanoder.bsky.social. bsky.app/profile/norm...

Eleven percent drop in ticket revenues in FY 2025 lowers #BarclaysCenter's total revenue, but results still point to modestly profitable year. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/elev...

Bi-Weekly #AtlanticYards Digest: Getting Busier? normanoder.substack.com/p/bi-weekly-... Beyond news of the project's future, coverage of developer Greenland's struggles (see Fortune Global 500 decline) and Mamdani's reticence. My #PacificParkBK coverage roundup

At this point, it's journalistic malpractice to report the findings of any CSL "analysis" without highlighting its well-documented lack of credibility. CSL is the Enron of sports venue consulting.

San Antonio officials defended the arrangement as "there is kind of an ethical wall between the work that CSL does" and the Spurs — "we hired a company owned by the people asking us for $650m" sounds even worse, so sure, let's go with "ethical wall."

FAQ: Where Do Things Stand with #AtlanticYards? normanoder.substack.com/p/faq-where-... A joint venture, in two variations, may take over, but scale, scope, promises, & timing are TBD. Could public input make a difference, especially after NY State suspended penalties for #affordablehousing?

#BarclaysCenter operator BSE Global says it didn't need @nycbuildings.bsky.social permission to install Liberty Portraits exhibition on Ticketmaster Plaza atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/aren... I'm no lawyer, but not so sure Maybe it's not > 120 square feet, but it'll be up 4 months.

Would #AtlanticYards "Community Engagement" work or be an "exercise in futility"? With no plan yet & little trust, let's see what might emerge by Oct. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/woul... Potential tension between the project's financial feasibility, public benefits, & community impacts

In latest Moody's analysis, Greenland Holding Group, parent of #AtlanticYards developer (for now), retains near-bottom credit rating & negative outlook atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/in-l... Paying off big debts will require "asset disposals" (Hmmm)

Does collecting damages for missing #AtlanticYards affordable housing make "it less likely the project gets built,” as real estate consultant claims2 Gothamist atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/does... It's not so simple. NYS has more leverage & should come clean. @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social

Does #AtlanticYards developer Greenland USA have a case for Unavoidable Delay? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/does... Maybe, but NYS ESD should have come clean sooner & seems wary of exercising power.

In Fortune Global 500, Greenland Holdings, parent of struggling #AtlanticYards developer Greenland USA, plunges to #480, from #291 last year and its peak of #125 in 2022. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/in-f...

When it comes to enforcement of Atlantic Yards penalties, why is Democratic Mayoral nominee Mamdani so cautious (esp. compared to Republican Sliwa)? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/when... (as queried by @davidfbrand.bsky.social @gothamist.com) NB: Cuomo & Adams punted on #affordablehousing

Why valuable Site 5 ($250M-$400M+?) across from #BarclaysCenter is key to restarting #AtlanticYards, and why NY State has far more leverage than it acknowledges atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/why-... Wouldn't investments have cost more w/o risk of moving bulk, which requires NYS approval?

As state extends suspension of #AtlanticYards affordable housing penalties, citing revised development proposal (& teams) now involving Site 5, advisory group presses ESD on enforcement. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/as-s... #PacificParkBK contours (+ ownership stakes) still unclear.

If #AtlanticYards Consultants Have Earned $63.4M+, How About a Few Bucks For the Public? normanoder.substack.com/p/if-the-con... Could there be an independent voice on #PacificParkBK's financial viability, scale, and community impact? Past independent reports have been credible.

There was supposed2B an #AtlanticYards traffic study after 1,500 #PacificParkBK apartments were built atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/ther... @nyc-dot.bsky.social decided2 wait Maybe that makes sense, as plan changes are pending. Current scope omits #BarclaysCenter impacts, but could change

Bi-Weekly #AtlanticYards Digest: An Advisory Meeting Awaits normanoder.substack.com/p/bi-weekly-... What might we learn about an "engagement" process? Also, project consultants make bank, the Tsais' BSE Global forges ahead, and "Atlantic Yards down the memory hole."

Barclays Center releases August 2025 event calendar: 12 ticketed events, plus one free one. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/08/barc... Four events have amplified sound on the plaza.

#AtlanticYards CDC advisory meeting rescheduled for Aug. 6 in Brooklyn. atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/atla... Same Agenda as before. Will any news re developers and process emerge?

Cirrus-LCOR alliance, aiming for Atlantic Yards, gets momentum, awarded rights by city to develop former Flushing Airport site atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/cirr... #AtlanticYards is a state project. Alliance includes union pension funds from building trades

Who else made bank on #AtlanticYards? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/who-... By now, the law firms and consultants have earned $63.4 million of the developers' funds.

Norman Oder Is #AtlanticYards "Next to" the Arena? Was the Project Delayed Because of Gentrification Fears? normanoder.substack.com/p/is-atlanti... For the New York Times, it's "Atlantic Yards down the memory hole." Stale photo, too.

Tomorrow 2-6 pm, Brooklyn Steel Pan Féte, first of two summer concerts on #BarclaysCenter Ticketmaster Plaza sponsored by the ArenaCo owners' Social Justice Fund atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/tomo... Not much publicity for it--hmm.

Art, social justice, and promotional statements; a softball interview with BSE Global's Clara Wu Tsai about #BarclaysCenter, NY Liberty portraits, & more atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/art-... "You belong here" = the borough, or the arena?

As part of BSE Global's plan for "generational fandom" for Brooklyn Nets/NY Liberty, school hoops clinics distributed 32,000 t-shirts this past year, while STEM curriculum engaged 1K+ students atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/as-p... +what if the STEM math assessed #BarclaysCenter subsidies?

Regarding Brooklyn Marine Terminal Plan, BrooklynSpeaks leaders Simon & de la Uz at odds re #AtlanticYards Lessons normanoder.substack.com/p/regarding-... With task force vote scheduled today, @brooklyneagle.bsky.social offers useful essays. I'm not convinced BMT can escape #AtlanticYards doubts.

Does the Pacific Park Conservancy, which governs #AtlanticYards open space, have Directors from "civic groups active in park matters," as required? atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2025/07/does... Unlikely.

#AtlanticYards Digest: Key Meeting on Project's Future Postponed; BrooklynSpeaks Starts Petition on #AffordableHousing Penalties normanoder.substack.com/p/weekly-dig... At 38 Sixth tower, new troubles (flood damage, lease waivers); Nets' parent BSE Global talks of "Brooklyn DNA" #PacificParkBK
