经过多年的争议和全面的重新设计，纽约州布鲁克林大西洋院子Megadevelopment的开发商Forest City Ratner Cos。表示，预计将开始建设开发项目的核心，这是今年晚些时候的Nets篮球队的舞台。拉特纳（Ratner）在2011-12篮球赛季开设了名为巴克莱中心（Barclays Center）的设施。
拉特纳（Ratner）于9月10日发布了Ellerbe Becket与Shop Architects合作的重新设计。最初的建筑师是弗兰克·盖里（Frank Gehry）。
根据新的设计,675 000-sq-ft arena is clad in weathered-steel and glass. The building mass consists of three separate but woven horizontal "bands," says the architect. The first engages the ground and includes a canopy, 30 ft above ground level, over a plaza. Above that, there is a glass band. The third band "floats" around the roof of the arena and varies in transparency. As designed, the arena will have 18,000 seats for basketball and up to 19,000 seats for concerts. There will be 100 suites; 40 loge boxes, six clubs and restaurants; and a practice facility.
