By Jess Wisloski The Brooklyn Papers The value of prime water’s-edge property in the planned Brooklyn Bridge Park — which would be put up for bid to private condominium developers — has been grossly underestimated by the state authority entrusted with devel- oping the 1.3-mile park, experts testified before the City Council. Brooklyn Bridge Park, for which Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Governor George Pataki in 2002 committed a combined $150 mil- lion in taxpayer funds, might be built between 2008 and 2012 if a mechanism to keep the park’s 67 acres of land self-sustaining is put in place. The plan, unveiled last December after the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation (BBPDC) scrapped an earlier mas- ter plan, relies for its annual financing on the development of six luxury condominium high-rises accounting for 1,210 apartments and 225 hotel rooms. At a joint hearing before the City Council Waterfront and Parks committees, Councilman David Yassky cited revenue statements released by the BBPDC on Sept. 30, 11 days after a public hearing on the project — which state that developable wa- terfront sites between Atlantic Avenue and Jay Street are worth $70 to $75 a square foot. Even the higher figure, which was indicated in the BBPDC document to be for the site closest to the Brooklyn Bridge, is less than half what real estate experts say it is worth in present value. “Different sites have different values,” said Jay Schippers, a developer for 35 years who has his own Brooklyn Heights real estate firm. He estimated sites at the park’s southern end, near Atlantic Av- enue, to be worth between $200 and $250 per buildable square foot. The northern end of the park development site, in DUMBO, is worth $150 to $200 per buildable square foot, he said, assum- ing no excessive fees were included. The park, city Economic Development Corporation Vice Presi- dent Kate Collingnon said at the hearing. will require ground leas- es and ongoing park payments, when asked by Yassky why the es- timates were so low. “It was a pretty highly unusual analysis that was completed because you’re doing condominiums on ground rented property,” she said. “You’re getting ongoing payments into the future.” Added Joe Chan, a spokesman for Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Daniel Doctoroff: “The projections we made were conservative because we didn’t want to overestimate what we might get.” Even factoring in long-term ground leases, Schippers said, “you don’t have to deduct dollar for dollar.” “The land might be even worth more than your analysis,” he said to Yassky, “because there are numerous condominiums out there that sell for high prices that are paying taxes in addition.” Yassky said he guessed the property, even after accounting for ground leases, was at least worth an asking price of $140 per square foot. He requested that BBPDC officials sit down with him and scrutinize their figures. Because the fiscal analysis was released Sept. 30, and includes CELEBRATING 14 YEARS the revenue generation figures as well as cost analysis, the public comment period on the park plan’s draft environmental impact statement has been extended to Nov. 2.
