Atlantic Terminal Station Starting to Show its Face
The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress.

The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress. Exterior brickwork for the station, directly across the street from the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower and attached to the Atlantic Terminal Mall, has started going up over the past month or so. While there’s never been much doubt the station will end up looking as generic as the rest of the Atlantic Terminal and Center, the construction (going strong for five years now) has made getting to the LIRR a confusing pain in the ass, and mangled street and sidewalk traffic. A press release from the MTA that came out earlier this year didn’t pinpoint when the revamp’ll finally be finished. Anyone know? We won’t be holding our breath.

Agreed, 1:15
It is totally a middle class shopping center. even upper middle class as most Target stores are in upper middle class suburban areas.
The ONLY reason people would think otherwise is if they associate dark faces with lower class.
Sad but true.
Alright, alright I concede, the highest priced office/condo/hotel/mall complex in the country is more attractive then Atlantic Terminal – so let me make it a little harder/fairer – name 3
Time Warner.
I concede – Time Warner Center is more attractive then Atlantic Terminal
There’s a DSW in Union Square and one in Battery Park City.
I’m learning a lot today. Now I know to stay away from those ghetto areas.
1:12 – just b/c people are black doesnt make them “poor” – Target, Bath and Body Works, Guitar Center, Men’s Warehouse, Starbucks, Victoria Secret, DSW etc….are NOT FOR POOR PEOPLE. These stores cater to middle or upper middle class people. There isnt 1 store in Atlantic Terminal that caters to “poor people”
1:13 :
time warner center
“Its damn ugly” – COMPARED TO WHAT
please cite a single mixed use (retail-office) complex built in the last 30 years that you think is attractive
this is very typical for new york today
shops cater to the rich or the poor
the middle once again is left out
yes i can do better than old navy but dont wantto shop at an overpriced “trendy” boutique either
