The ambitious Brooklyn Yards development plan, an engineering feat that will build housing over an active rail line, was approved by the City Council on Thursday.
The project - comprising 10 four-story townhouses with penthouses, two six-story apartment buildings, one nine-story mixed-use building, and one two-story commercial building - won't affect the rail line or its future development.
The development team has been working with the MTA and other city agencies for years on the plans, and the MTA had to approve the final construction drawings.
We even figured out how to do the structure to support the platform without disturbing the freight operations below.
