Boom!
According to a recent article in the New York Post, “Brooklyn’s swiftly rising profile is set to go sky high in 2006.” The article outlines the exciting boom that is currently happening - and rapidly picking up speed - in our borough.
Here is a sampling of projects on track for 2006:
- Transformation of the Red Hook waterfront to include a Fairway, IKEA, and cruise ship port that will be home to the Queen Mary 2
- Brooklyn Marriott expansion
- Thor Tower in downtown Brooklyn (I believe this is the one slated to go up near Fulton and Red Hook Lane, can anyone confirm?)
- Nets Stadium in Prospect Heights
There’s also a lot of residential action going on around here… a walk to Target this weekend turned into a tour of active construction sites and condos on the rise. It’s exciting to see the neighborhood grow and change. Can’t wait to meet the new neightbors… Boom!
