There's no denying that Brooklyn's recent growth can be used as an advantage to Downtown.

Brooklyn itself has a very low vacancy rate and is seeking to expand (see various threads). The general consensus is that Downtown is much better than it was pre 9/11. But that doesn't change the fact that there will always be those companies the will prefer to remain in Midtown. But I think Downtown has the home field in this case.
