Atlantic Yards will combine a new arena, the
Barclays Center, designed by Ellerbe Becket and SHoP Architects, a public plaza,
eight acres of landscaped open space, more than 6,400 units of affordable,
middle-income and market-rate housing, ground-floor retail space for local
businesses and office space that will create a vibrant addition to a thriving borough.
In 2005, Atlantic Yards’s developer signed the first-ever Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) in New York City to accompany a major development project.
For the week of May 6, there were a total of 908 workers building Atlantic Yards. The daily average was 690 workers. 469 were New York City residents, with 184 from Brooklyn and 82 from the four community boards adjacent to the project.
