Atlantic Yards: Shaya Gets the Boot

carvan_091009.jpgAs you may remember, Forest City Ratner, developer behind the Atlantic Yards, hit a little snafu in the planning stages when it claimed to own or control more land than it actually did, namely the lots at the corner of Carlton and Vanderbilt. The snafu came in the form of property owner Henry Weinstein, who fought Shaya Boymelgreen's attempt to assign his lease to Forest City Ratner. Weinstein took Boymelgreen to court and legally took possession on September 18, but according to the Atlantic Yards Report, he just received the eviction notice from the Sheriff's Office yesterday. (Note: This post has been updated because it was, well, completely wrong to start with.)

Henry W is fee owner of 752 Pacific and as such was the leasor to Boymelgreen. It is latter's remaining staff being evicted, not Henry W.

what happened to my great suggestion that no AY or Ratner threads for 1 month?

Maybe it wasn't such a great suggestion?

how could you even suggest that?, all my suggestions are great.

Usually AY threads are good for a few hits. it was a great suggestion, but not so great for Mr. B, so you're both right :-)

Yes, BK Real Estate Veteran noticed that poorly constructed sentence: "Weinstein took Boymelgreen to court and legally took possession on September 18, but according to the Atlantic Yards Report, he (???) just received the eviction notice from the Sheriff's Office yesterday."

Antecedent pitfall...

How about?:
"Weinstein took Boymelgreen to court and legally took possession on September 18. According to the Atlantic Yards Report, Boymelgreen just received the eviction notice from the Sheriff's Office yesterday."
