Not so much. It's actually very limited to what can be built there, and for good reason. But I believe the City will do a very good job, based on renderings from the Brooklyn Bridge Park, and early returns on openings there, I expect to get just what we're seeing. Most impressive for me would be watching those "hills" get built from the rubble of the buildings that have to be demolished down at the southern end of the island.
