PHOTOS: Atlantic Yards' Barclays Center Flying Up

A monthly photo essay documenting the construction of the Atlantic Yards development and the Barclays Center, which the Brooklyn-bound New Jersey Nets will soon call home.

The Barclays Center continues to fly up – now each week progress is obvious, the shape of the basketball arena that the Brooklyn-bound New Jersey Nets plan to call home in the 2012-2013 season more visible.

The majority of the arena’s foundation has been laid, with efforts now focused on erecting the steel frame of the arena itself. Atlantic Yards developer Forest City Ratner expects to begin work on the façade as early as June. Demolition and excavation still continues on the Long Island Railroad/Vanderbilt Yard side of the site.

Every month, we'll take a look at the progress the work crews are making. As the Barclays Center and the rest of the development rise along neighborhood’s border, we'll take note as each beam is raised each wall is erected and each building demolished.
