China’s Greenland, Forest City to launch Pacific Park’s first condos this summer



Quote:
After more than a decade of planning, the first condominiums at Pacific Park Brooklyn – formerly Atlantic Yards – are set to hit the market this summer.

550 Vanderbilt, a 17-story building at the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Dean Street, will have 278 apartments, ranging from studios through four-bedroom units, as well as a handful of maisonettes and penthouses. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group will handle sales. Prices will range from $550,000 to $5.5 million, according to the teaser site for the project, which is now live.

COOKFOX is designing the building, with Thomas Balsley Associates serving as the landscape architect. The property has more than 10,000 square feet of amenities, including a landscaped roof terrace on the eighth floor, as well as a residents’ lounge, library, children’s playroom, guest chefs’ kitchen and fitness center.

Developer Greenland Forest City Ratner Partners is a partnership between China’s Greenland Group and Forest City Ratners. The developer renamed the $4.9 billion project Pacific Park in August. When completed, it will have 14 residential buildings and eight acres of green space. In addition to 550 Vanderbilt, developer Greenland Forest City Ratner Partners is currently building 535 Carlton Avenue, which will contain roughly 300 affordable units.

Teaser Site for 550 Vanderbilt: http://550vanderbilt.com/



Quote:
Designed inside and out by celebrated architect COOKFOX, 550 Vanderbilt brings 278 exceptional condominium residences to the heart of Brooklyn. The holistic design of the building takes cues from the neighboring brownstones of Prospect Heights, while expansive windows maximize views and ensure light-filled living. From studios to four bedrooms, the carefully planned layouts are distinguished by luxurious finishes and modern details.

Gracefully adjoining Pacific Park’s 8-acres of green space, 550 Vanderbilt will enjoy the unprecedented wealth of services, amenities, and conveniences of Brooklyn's newest neighborhood.

Shouldn't this thread be moved to construction? The complex, while long term, has been u/c. Two of the towers posted above are u/c.

We have:

1) b2 (under construction)
2) 550 Vanderbilt (u/c)
3) 535 Carlton (u/c)
4) Barclays (finished)
5) B14 (u/c)
6) b3 (staring this june)

Phase 1 is definitely u/c with multiple towers rising.

^^^^

I agree. The red prefab looks like a badly wrapped Christmas present. Looks cheap and tacky. Prefab could be done right, but this is not the case.

Well, luckily the other components for now are looking decent and respectable based on the renderings. 30 Sixth Avenue is pretty nice and so is Vanderbilt. B2 though is rubbish.

Rooftop Oasis Sprouting Atop Barclays Center



Quote:
A plan to turn the Barclays Center's roof into a flowery oasis is taking root.

Construction workers were spotted Tuesday laying 2-by-2-foot plots of sedum onto the roof of the Brooklyn arena. Photos provided by the Barclays Center show that, by late morning, the green-thumbed hardhats had managed to lay out a long line of the plots on one swath of the rooftop.

The project will be completed by the fall, with the sedum — a flowering plant that can survive droughts — covering 135,000 square feet of the roof, a Barclays Center spokesman said.

In the fall and winter, workers built a steel deck on the arena's existing roof to support the plant installation.

Greenland Forest City Partners, a joint venture formed in December 2013 between Chinese developer Greenland USA and Forest City Ratner to build out Pacific Park, is footing the bill for the green roof. Forest City is overseeing the roof's construction and planting.

The green rooftop serves a twofold purpose: The plants will help cut down on noise from the arena and offer neighbors a nice view.

The roof will include four different mixes of sedum, which provide year-round vegetative coverage and bloom colorful flowers in the summer months.

An excerpt from a long interview with Gregg Pasquarelli of SHoP Architects


Talking SHoP: Gregg Pasquarelli On His Projects Changing The Fabric of NYC

DANIELLE SCHLANGER
5/06/ 2015

Quote:
Yet, of all of the projects he’s worked on, Mr. Pasquarelli said designing the Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn has been the most memorable.

“Barclays was amazing,” he said. “It was such an unusual thing to come into such a controversial project so late and then to have to try and solve it so quickly, and then to do a radical building.”

“The brief was challenging and the schedule grueling—essentially one year to deliver a stunning design within a defined budget and aggressive build schedule,” MaryAnne Gilmartin, the president and chief executive officer of Forest City Ratner, said of her company’s demands for SHoP.

Mr. Pasquarelli had been recommended to Forest City by David Childs, the chairman emeritus of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, after the original Frank Gehry plan was deemed too expensive.

“It took more than one meeting for us to see the creative genius at work. But we saw that within weeks of the first sit-down,” said Ms. Gilmartin.

Mr. Pasquarelli said the stadium was inspired by Brooklyn’s post-industrial moment. Stone, he said, reminded him too much of the Yankees. Stainless steel would be too L.A.

“There there was something for us between a kind of raw, gritty material but then executed in an incredibly sexy snakeskin, Chanel-y kind of way,” he said. “That’s kind of what Brooklyn’s like.”

The Barclays Center is seen as a huge leap in the evolution of Brooklyn, and Mr. Pasquarelli is confident that SHoP will continue its commitment to help cities maximize their potential.

“It’s about believing in the power of cities,” he said. “And realizing that density is both green and inclusive. If you want to build great cities that become great economic engines and great social liberators and ways for us to exchange and be good neighbors, [cities have] got to be beautiful and … have this infrastructure, and that’s what we’re totally committed to.”

This philosophy has won him the admiration of developers with whom he has partnered.

“Gregg is special,” Ms. Gilmartin said. “I believe in the years to come he will be recognized as one of the great architects of our time for his great contributions to our city in terms of solid architecture.”

Video: Take a Tour of Barclays Center’s Under-Construction Green Roof

MAY 19, 2015
MICHELLE COHEN

Quote:
The 135,000-square-foot green roof planned for the SHoP Architects-designed Barclays Center is shaping up in readiness for its job of reducing noise from the arena, catching rainwater and looking good from below, though it won’t be publicly accessible.


The Architect’s Newspaper brings us a sneak peek video, below, for a behind-the-scenes view of the installation process. The installation is being funded by Forest City Ratner and Greenland Holding Group, partners on the Pacific Park/Atlantic Yards project.

2025 is a long ways coming in real estate terms. Some interesting designs will come up. Adding some much needed density to the area.

I wouldn't take the model to heart. It will change.

Pacific Park is getting a new 26-story resi tower

Quote:
Greenland Forest City Ratner Partners is preparing to put up another building, a 26-story residential tower, in the Pacific Park megadevelopment, according to a permit application filed with the Department of Buildings Monday. The tower, located at 615 Dean Street between Vanderbilt Avenue and Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights, will contain 244 apartments across 312,750 square feet. An additional 4,000 square feet will be set aside for commercial space, including ground-floor retail. Several apartments will have private terraces, according to the application. Kohn Pedersen Fox is the architect of record.

First Pacific Park Brooklyn condos to hit the market



Quote:
After years of delays, the first condominiums at the Pacific Park Brooklyn development site near the Barclays Center opened for sales this week.

All 278 units at Greenland Forest City Partners’ 17-story 550 Vanderbilt condo development are on the market, with construction also underway on two other rental buildings housing some 600 units. Prices at 550 Vanderbilt will range from $550,000 to $5.5 million, The Real Deal reported earlier this year, with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group handling sales.

550 Vanderbilt is the first of four condo buildings that will go up at the Pacific Park Brooklyn development, according to a news release. The long-delayed, $4.9 billion plan for the site, located adjacent to the Barclays Center, calls for 14 residential buildings featuring 6,430 apartments – including 2,250 subsidized units – to be completed by 2025. A new timeline agreed last June fast-tracked development at the project, formerly known as Atlantic Yards, after Forest City Ratner secured an influx of capital through a partnership with Greenland USA — a subsidiary of Chinese development company Greenland Holding Group.

Greenland must “see it to believe it” with Tower B2


Quote:
MaryAnne Gilmartin, president and CEO of Forest City Ratner Companies, has been an unflagging cheerleader of modular construction through the developer’s travails with Tower B2 — the Pacific Park building that, at 32 stories, is slated to be the world’s tallest modular structure. But Forest City’s Chinese partner, Greenland USA, “needs to see it to believe it,” Gilmartin said Tuesday.

In response to an audience member’s question at TerraCRG’s Only Brooklyn real estate summit, Gilmartin said that it is still undetermined whether modular construction will be used for any additional Pacific Park buildings. “It’s been hard. It’s not gone as planned. And it’s cost a lot more money,” she said. “This model is still yet to be proven, but I am a deep believer.” Gilmartin maintained that the seven-month delay in construction that Tower B2 suffered was simply due to a dispute between Forest City and its former partner, Skanska USA, and that modular construction is blameless. Forest City and Skanska traded suits last fall, with each blaming the other side for cost overruns and delays. “There is no fatal flaw. It’s really about the hiccup we had with our partner,” she said. Tower B2, at 461 Dean Street, will contain 363 apartments, 50 percent of which will be affordable. Gilmartin said the units should be delivered by late 2016. “To prove out the model, we need B2 to open up. We need people to walk through and say, ‘This is beautiful, it looks just as good as the building down the street,’” she said. “If that happens, then I would say Greenland would be enthusiastic.”

Gilmartin also touted the efficiencies that modular could ideally afford, and cited it as a potentially major boon to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s goal to build 80,000 units of affordable housing by 2020. Of reports from earlier this year claiming that Tower B2’s modules were misaligned, Gilmartin said that corrective work was done and that the issues were nothing more than what you would normally see on any construction project.

The developer is breaking ground this week on Tower B3 at 38 Sixth Avenue, which will be 100 percent affordable.

Work Begins On 38 Sixth Avenue, Pacific Park’s Second Affordable Building



Quote:
Building permits have slowed to a trickle while the state legislature tries to reach a compromise on 421-a, but construction continues. Work has officially kicked off at 38 Sixth Avenue, where Greenland Forest City Partners will construct their fourth building in the Pacific Park megaproject.

The 23-story development will rise at the northeastern corner of Sixth Avenue and Dean Street, making it the third building to rise on the superblock between Pacific Street, Dean Street, Sixth and Carlton Avenues.

The developers have also sent along a larger rendering of the project, which was filed in February under 30 Sixth Avenue. Its 303 apartments will be rented at below-market rates, just like 535 Carlton Avenue. The building will reach 218 feet into the air and hold 321,000 square feet of residential space, for an average apartment of 1,050 square feet. And Forest City’s press release says more than a third of the units “will be sized for families,” hopefully indicating three bedrooms (or larger).

There will be a 73-space parking garage in the cellar, ground floor retail, and a health care facility on the second floor. SHoP Architects are responsible for the design.

In December, Greenland Forest City broke ground on 535 Carlton and 550 Vanderbilt, a market-rate condo building. Pacific Park’s first building was B2, the stalled modular apartment project at the corner of Dean and Flatbush.
