Atlantic Terminal - unfinished?

Who knows why the Atlantic Terminal is unfinished? I mean the street level at Hanson Place across from the WillyB Bank Bldg ... and those fenced off areas on Atlantic?

Probably because shit either happens really quick in this city, or it takes forever.

First, I remember reading that the main tenant in the upper levels is some type of disaster recovery/alternate worksite, so its buildout might have something to do with it.

Second, I'm quite sure that it's a clusterf**k over there right now, trying to plan for a wholly uncertain future, but needing to finish the work; how do you minimize waste/rebuilding?

Cause they're trying to come up with some way to make the damned thing uglier?? :twisted:

Subject: Some answer

From some research:
MTA budget plan call for $10.3 million from the feds and $11 million from the MTA this year for Atlantic Terminal work. Expected completion is December 2006. So maybe out of that $21.3 million we'll see something like this:

blech. did anyone see frank gehry's stupid face in the Times this morning? what a tool.

it was cool when he built a house out of garbage at low cost. when he designs buildings to look like they were made out of garbage, even though they're really expensive, that's significantly less cool.
