AY Demos: 626 Pacific Going; Ward Bakery May Be Next

Whether or not Bruce Ratner is actually sweating Atlantic Yards financing right now (on that subject, this Daily Intelligencer article by Chris Smith is a good read), it doesn’t seem like anything’s going to stop the bulldozers in Prospect Heights over the next couple of weeks. Here’s what’s set to fall:
1. 626 Pacific Street: Demolition is starting on this red-brick warehouse, which is right next to Casa de Goldstein. GMAP
2. Carlton Avenue Bridge: According to this week’s ESD press release on Atlantic Yards construction activity, workers are going to begin demolishing the southern portion of the bridge. As shown in the pic above, the bridge is now completely blocked off. GMAP
3. Ward Bakery Building: The ESD says “mobilization for demolition” of the warehouse, where a section of the parapet collapsed in April, will begin over the next couple of weeks. Last year, there was an unsuccessful drive to save the building. GMAP
These are in addition to 647 Dean Street, whose last gasps we chronicled a couple weeks back.
