Pacific Park, Mixed-use development in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, US
Pacific Park is a mixed-use development near Barclays Center with residential towers, shops, restaurants, and offices spread across multiple blocks. It combines housing of varying sizes with retail and workspace on the same property.
The land was formerly a rail yard and industrial area that underwent transformation beginning in 2003. Over time, this became a new neighborhood with modern housing and shops replacing the earlier industrial use.
The area features public green spaces and plazas where neighbors gather and events take place. These spaces are designed to bring together people from different backgrounds and support everyday community life.
The area sits at the junction of several subway lines and near the rail terminal, making it straightforward to reach by public transit. Visitors will find walkways and parking options throughout the development.
One striking building here is the world's tallest apartment tower built from prefabricated modules assembled on-site. This construction method was faster and more efficient than traditional building techniques.
