Where is Stuckey?
We found Jim Stuckey!
Jim Stuckey, is the former President of the Atlantic Yards Development Group
and chief mover and shaker for Ratner's Atlantic Yards proposal until he was quietly
and unceremoniously stepped down a little over one year ago. The press
release on his "resignation"
gave no kudos for his tenure with Ratner (rude, that) and said that his "resignation"
was "effective immediately, citing personal reasons and a desire to pursue
new challenges."
Where is he now? Where has he gone to face those challenges? He is now partner
at Verdant Properties,
where his
profile touts his service for Forest City Ratner and the Atlantic Yards stewardship.
The jury is still out on that.
What does Verdant do? What Mr. Stuckey does best...pretend. From Verdant's website:
"VERDANT PROPERTIES, LLC™ is a state of the art developer, purchaser
and owner of residential, office, retail, infrastructure and mixed-use development
projects. While maximizing revenues and returns for equity investors, we achieve
these results through environmentally sensitive and sustainable developments
that are harmonious with surrounding communities. With a specialty in public-private
developments, we strategically work with tenants, government officials and community
stakeholders to create buildings of the highest possible design standards to meet
important social, environmental and community goals."
(Emphasis added.)
Mr. Stuckey should feel free
to use DDDB as a reference for his work doing "sustainable, harmonious development"...we
have much to say about his efforts with that Atlantic Yards proposal.
On a side note, if you're out there Mr. Stuckey, we have a lot of freelance graphic
designers who could help you with Verdant's website.
