The vision of a sweeping BAM Cultural District took another hit yesterday with the news, reported by the Brooklyn Paper, that a large mixed-use project slated for the southwest corner of Fulton Street and Ashland Place was being put on hold. “The mixed-use developments are feeling the most from the current economic situation,” said Kate Dixon, director of planning and development for the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. The tower was supposed to contain 187 residential units (100 of which were to be “affordable”) and be anchored by Danspace. Big bummer but not that surprising, we guess.
