Get ready for a new look at the Nets arena this October: a green roof but a lot of scaffolding as apartment towers continue to rise around Barclays Center. How long will the construction go on in the area? Try 2025.
Barclays Center will have a new roof --green-- and new neighbors, a 33-story tower that's finally rising above the arena roof line and a 23-story companion around the corner that's just starting to go up. It's part of Pacific Park, the rebranded megaproject long known as Atlantic Yards
As Tom Kaminski of WCBS Chopper 880 showed this morning, the green roof, actually 34,000 two feet by two feet boxes of sedum, is nearly complete.
