In cooperation with New York City Council Member Letitia James, our team of architects and urban designers from Brooklyn has worked to create the UNITY plan, a development alternative to the 7.6 million square foot Atlantic Yards proposal by Forest City Ratner Companies. This is an overview of our design for the MTA Vanderbilt Rail Yards.
