Brownfields have been defined as “property that has remained idle, abandoned or underutilized because of contamination or the threat of contamination.” That definition certainly applies to the Atlantic Terrance property prior to its redevelopment. Located in urban downtown Brooklyn, N.Y., this one-third acre property was a
gasoline filling station from 1939 to 1969 with multiple petroleum Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). The project, formally known as “Atlantic Terrace Cornerstone - Site 12” is part of the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area.
The Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area is nestled in between the Prospect
Heights, Park Slope and Fort Greene neighborhoods of Brooklyn as well as the
nearby Atlantic Terminal train station of the Long Island Rail Road. Other
projects within this urban renewal area include the Barclays Center, which will
serve as the new home to the National Basketball Association’s Nets, and the Atlantic Yards apartment buildings, a mixture of condominiums

by Staff Report
In Michigan, some are predicting a better business climate for redevelopment and regulatory closure of contaminated properties thanks to a bill Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was scheduled to sign last week. The new regulations should have a positive impact on commercial real estate development and brownfields redevelopment resulting in the creation of jobs. |

A property located on a bank of the East River and in a densely developed residential and commercial area, had its work cut out for it from an environmental remediation standpoint. The mission was to clean up the land and ultimately make one puzzle piece to a larger urban revitalization project that would be redeveloped as a public library and park ranger station.
