Barclays Center at Atlantic Yards broke ground yesterday after years of delay including 34 lawsuits filed by residents fighting the use of eminent domain. The groundbreaking marks the next phase of construction on the 22-acre, 675,000-sq-ft, facility located at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues in Brooklyn, the planned future home of the NBA�s New Jersey Nets.
Preconstruction work has been ongoing at the site since last fall with residential work expected to start next summer.
