Check out this updated map, which shows where the affordable and market rate housing at Atlantic Yards will go. The Atlantic Yards Report’s Norman Oder published it Thursday in City Limits and again on Atlantic Yards Report.
Pay no attention to the legend on the graphic — the important part is the outlines he added to the map. The two buildings outlined in yellow will be 100 percent affordable. The buildings outlined in red will be 50-50. The buildings outlined in green — six of them, apparently — will be market rate rentals or condos. That’s a lot of market rate apartments.
B4, incidentally, which is outlined in both green and red, will have a mix of 50-50 rentals and 100 percent market rate condos.
The mix has changed over the years; initially all the rental buildings were supposed to be 50-50, according to Oder. Some of the info has not been updated in quite a while, but the info about the first five projects is current, Oder said.

You would just highlight the whole map according to DeBlasio and friends…
Is there a map that pinpoints the location of un-affordable units?
Wait…how old is this diagram? Oder used it in a blog post back in June of 2006, before the financial crisis, before Gehry quit, before everything was redesigned a few times by new architects:

Can anyone comment if it’s still accurate?
Yeah…wouldn’t they have to tear down the front “waffle iron” handle / video atrium to accommodate a building there?
Was that built as a just temporary structure, until some later stage?
