About the plaza redesign, at least we are keeping it. Makes sense, especially since the office space can be moved without really being "moved".

Pacific Park Developer Wants to Replace Modell’s With Borough’s Biggest Office Building

....Pacific Park’s behemoth office tower could employ thousands of Brooklyn workers and be as big as 1.5 million square feet, but only if the developer can transfer air rights from the nearby Barclays Center plaza, a triangle of land jutting out into one of Brooklyn’s busiest intersections.
....This is a big change for the heavily trafficked area and for Pacific Park. Originally the plan was to build a smaller 440,000-square-foot office building at the Modell’s site and a larger 1.1-million-square-foot office building at the Barclays Center plaza site, instead of one giant building.
With an air-rights transfer, the developer can construct at 590 Atlantic Avenue the borough’s biggest office building — practically on top of Brooklyn’s biggest transit hub at Atlantic Terminal.
....The prospect to keep the pedestrian plaza while still creating approximately the same amount of space for workers could be appealing, although 1.5 million square feet is enormous and could mean a tower taller than the iconic Hanson Place clocktower nearby.
