BHA continues to press its case fighting a two-tower development on Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, BHA President Patrick Killackey said. “We recently received affirmation of our most fundamental [legal] arguments.”
Killackey was referring to property valuations released by the city’s Finance Department last month which show that two residential towers planned for Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 may not be not financially necessary. The city’s new valuations show that private high-end developments already built in the waterfront park will bring in much more money than the park corporation projected, BHA says — rendering the Pier 6 project unwarranted.
Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Interim President David Lowin says BHA’s claims are erroneous.
UPDATE: The NYS Supreme Court has postponed the hearing, which had been set for March 6. The new hearing date before NYS Supreme Court Justice Lucy Billings will be Friday, March 17 at 11 a.m. at 71 Thomas St., Room 203, in Manhattan.
