Pacific Park is a mixed-use commercial and residential development project by Forest City Ratner that will consist of 17 high-rise buildings, under construction in Prospect Heights, adjacent to Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, and Fort Greene in Brooklyn, New York City. The project overlaps part of the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area, but also extends toward the adjacent brownstone neighborhood. Of the 22-acre (8.9 ha) project, 8.4 acres (3.4 ha) is located over a Long Island Rail Road train yard. A major component of the project is the Barclays Center sports arena, which opened on September 21, 2012. Formerly named Atlantic Yards, the project was renamed by the developer in August 2014 as part of a rebranding.
The development of Pacific Park is overseen by the Empire State Development Corporation.[1][2] As of 2018[update], four of fifteen planned buildings had opened, but the deadline was delayed by about 10 years from 2025 to 2035.[3] The residential component includes the world's tallest modular apartment building, 461 Dean, opened in November 2016.[2][4]
