Within three blocks of Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards proposal are eight new construction projects, and at least five of them are 35 stories or higher, reports the NY Post. Thor Equities is planning a 60-story mixed use tower called Albee Square West; John Catsimatidis – owner of the Gristede’s chain – is planning a project that will reach near 40 stories; BFC Development has a 40-story residential and retail tower development in the works that was designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, and Ron Hershco just broke ground for his 35- and 40-story luxury buildings.
