Small blurb from Curbed, but big news, if it is true.
No Gehry, no
contractor...now what?
A
tipster tells Curbed that the lead contractor for the Atlantic Yards
project, Turner Contstuction, is off the job. Could that be why we saw
a Turner Construction truck idling, with purpose, outside of Forest City Ratner's
contractor condo offices in the former Spalding Building in the project site (24
Sixth Avenue)?
Curbed reports:
ATLANTIC YARDS—Speaking of Forest City Ratner-developed projects that
may or may not still involve Frank Gehry, a tipster with some inside info
has this to say about recent
developments with the arena + towers plan: "Turner Construction
is out as the contractor. And it's long been assumed that Ratner
will not work with Bovis. So who will be brought in as a relief pitcher? And
what could this project really be if the person that was leading the charge
for all this time is gone?" [CurbedWire Inbox]
Good questions.
