Downtown Brooklyn: 'A Combination TriBeCa, SoHo, and DUMBO'

"The stars are aligned for great success and new development in downtown Brooklyn ... which is finally transforming into a true 24/7 community," says the New York Sun.

Thursday's article by Michael Stoler quotes the president of Muss Development, Joshua Muss, saying: "With the huge number of luxury apartments, including waterfront and 40-story buildings with worldclass views of Manhattan and the harbor coming on line, as well as the ongoing commercial development and redevelopment on virtually every block, Downtown Brooklyn is arguably a combination TriBeCa, SoHo, and DUMBO. It's a hot, hot area."

The Sun says that almost 17,000 people are expected to move to Downtown Brooklyn over the next five years.
