Brooklyn Arena Cleared for Construction after Court Challenge Struck Down

The future home of the New Jersey Nets is set for construction after an appeals court ruled the Brooklyn arena could break ground following the dismissal of a challenge by opponents.

The Atlantic Yards project, to be developed by Bruce Ratner, has been delayed for several years as lawsuits have been filed to block the $4 billion venture that would include 15 apartment buildings and an office tower in addition to the arena.

Ratner plans to begin construction on the $800 million Brooklyn arena later this year. Opponents had filed a lawsuit that challenged the state’s use of eminent domain to seize property for the 22-acre Atlantic Yards project.
