Atlantic Yards No Selling Point for Nearby Sites?

A building smack at the crossroads of Park Slope and the planned Nets arena is on the market for $13 million. The property, on Flatbush between Fifth Avenue and Pacific Street, is across the street from the recently vanquished JRG Fashion Cafe and currently houses a furniture store as well as a few other retail spaces. Right now a developer can build up to 40,000 square feet on the footprint but, per the sales listing, there is excellent potential for partial block up-zoning to create a residential midrise or high-rise. Interestingly, the listing only includes a passing mention of the fact that the site is right across the street from the proposed Forest City Ratner Project spanning a large area around and over the Rail Yards. Perhaps brokers are shying away from using AY’s ginormous mish-mash of out-of-scale towers, constant construction and blaring traffic as selling points?

I don’t need comments from people just looking to insult me or others thanks.
You’re in the wrong place friend.
It’s amusing to note
People need to wake up.
I hate to break it to you
Please try to think before you just spew thoughts that are completely asinine.
Makes you sound really ignorant as well.
We didn’t care the other 50 times you’ve posted
Hmmm…And what did you add to the conversation ?
what in god’s name are you talking about?
the people there were disgusting and threatening
They just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Brooklyn is increasingly a very desirable place to live.
lie down that crack pipe man.
Was that too difficult for you to comprehend?
you have no case.
Talk about inane…
You seem too stupid
No Dumbass learn to read and understand.
Someday this war’s gonna end.
You might want to come up with an alternate plan.
There is a point where fighting the inevitable becomes rather absurd.
The battle is over and you have lost, all because of your incompetence.
Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.
Go fuck yourself

I grew up in Park Slope, bought a place in Prospect Heights near Grand Army Plaza but it’s too small and I’m considering buying one of the last units available in the NewsWalk. they’re huge and really nice. also I was able to rent out my current place for a profit after just living there for one year so that was a no-brainer. Buying in the Newswalk with AY around the corner is certainly far from a no-brainer. Anyone on here live there? Buy there recently? Or live nearby? more thoughts than what I’ve already read? and no I don’t need comments from people just looking to insult me or others thanks.

Evidence, please?
D-O-N-E-D-E-A-L!!!
Riddle me this Ratman, how is a bunch of luxury hi-rises not elitist?
Oh…so 1 minute the arena is a garbage dump filled with slobbery drunks and the next it’s only luxury high rises?
Which is it? Make up your MIND!
1:49 should have stopped his last self-serving tirade at this: “The anti AY-ers haven’t lost.”

Quit trying to paint the whole AY project as anything other than a boondoggle greedfest.
The anti AY-ers haven’t lost because of their incompetence. They’ve lost because more people want the project than don’t. DDB has always represented a group of self-interested people who want to maintain the status quo (namely, their rent-controlled apartments and lower-than-Manhattan home and apartment prices, which by the way already price-ut a significant number of New Yorkers). DDB and their ilk didn’t conceive a “Unity” plan until they saw they precious lifestyles threatened. They still haven’t explained how AY will “destroy” the neighborhood. It will, however, destroy their elitist way of life, which is all they were concerned about from the beginning.
Fenway Park is a garbage dump, home to a team of LOSERS and a collection of loudmouthed fans who don’t know squat about baseball. You experience was not surprising in the least.
