Pier 6
We caught up with Eric Landau at his office atop the park to discuss his plans for Brooklyn Bridge Park, and what he learned during his first summer.
The 5 acre span of Pier 6 is home to 35 different varieties of native plants (and plenty of bees!)
NIMBYs have been fighting the plan for the past decade.
But the city may go ahead with the plan, anyway.
The two buildings, which were intended to be built over Pier 6, were supposed to include a 315-foot-high tower with 339 apartments.
14 designs for residential towers, which would include affordable housing, have been released.
Agitated NIMBYs are taking the next step in their attempt to block below-market rate housing from rising along Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, appearing in state Supreme Court today to plead their case.
The city has issued a request for proposals to finally develop a pair of vacant lots at Pier 6 at Brooklyn Bridge Park, to the great displeasure of NIMBYs and parkgoers.
Brooklyn-based landscape architect Van Valkenburgh, whose firm has their fingerprints all over the park, calls the work: "Titanic Moment."
The popular Park Slope hot doggery is expanding their franchise with a new, seasonal Manhattan location on warm weather mainstay The High Line.
