Pier 6 high-rises not necessary for Brooklyn Bridge Park, according to privately-funded studies
$800 million surplus even without Pier 6?
A coalition of Brooklyn community organizations has released two commissioned reports from independent firms that they say point to a massive surplus from existing development projects in Brooklyn Bridge Park, eliminating the need for a controversial two-tower project at Pier 6.
The coalition says that the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation (BBPC) appears to be “making up numbers” to justify putting additional housing in the park.
The Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA), Brooklyn Bridge Park Defense Fund and the People for Green Space Foundation (PFGSF) discussed the reports at a Monday morning press conference.
