11:45 pm – 12:35 pm
This stretch of Dean Street would be within the notch in the southern border of Atlantic Yards, the 22-acre development (16 high rise towers and a basketball arena) proposed by Forest City Ratner.
The Williamsburgh Bank Building, the clock tower on the left (aka One Hanson Place), would not be visible if the high rise tower is built as planned at the corner of Dean Street and 6th Avenue, replacing 5 homes. Two houses have already been demolished (487, 489 Dean); three others would be demolished (491, 493, 495 Dean).
The Barclays Center Arena, an 18,000-seat basketball arena for the New Jersey Nets, would be on the far left, its southeast corner at the intersection of Dean Street and 6th Avenue.
