Atlantic Yards is currently proposed to be a mixed-use development which contains both residential and commercial spaces. It will also include a sports and entertainment venue as well as green space. Located at Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, the site spans 22 acres over the original Vanderbilt Rail Yards.
The project is set to include:
- a sports and entertainment venue of 675,000 sq.ft.
- retail space of 247,000 sq.ft.
- office space 336,000 sq.ft.
- hotel of 165,000 sq.ft.
- affordable and market-rate housing of 6.36million sq.ft.
- an art venue
- eight acres of open space
This particular area would be significant in my research explaining whether it is the development that has influence on the subway or if it is the subway that has some kind of impact on the development.
Good, now state what is YOUR research interest in Atlantic Yards and why is your research important (why should any one care?).
