From the latest Construction Update: virtually nothing new happening these next two weeks

According to the latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning August 28, there's no new work coming in this period, compared to the previous period.

That said, a close look suggests one minor change at B11 (550 Vanderbilt). The document states "Work on west façade on-going," though that was not in the previous update. Also, the ongoing green space work, last week described as the "Open Space courtyard"--is now simply "Ongoing open space work."

The latest update was circulated Friday at 11:25 am by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. That was more lead time than most Updates, which have typically come after the work has commenced.

Saturday and after-hours work

Saturday work could occur at B14 (535 Carlton), where open space work is ongoing, as well as B12 (615 Dean). Then again, pretty much nothing has been happening at B12. No weekend work is predicted at the arena block or at B11.

In the railyard, weekday foundation pile installation in the area of the B10 site may extend work hours up to 5:30 pm and may occur on Saturdays.

Also, ongoing testing for the new LIRR substation may extend weekday work hours up to 7 pm and may require work on Saturday and Sunday.

The demolition that hasn't happened

As stated in the past 32 construction updates, demolition at Block 1120, the railyard block between Sixth and Carlton avenues, could commence upon receipt of Department of Buildings and Department of Transportation permits. A community notice will be distributed. Maybe it's not actually going to happen within this two-week reporting period.
