Crain's NY Business

An article about the new Chief Executive of NY Downtown Hospital mentions the Frank Gehry/Bruce Ratner Beekman St. project and explains how Bruce got the gig:
Mr. Menkes is optimistic about the hospital’s future, citing support from Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Wall Street donations. Signs of progress include the construction of a residential, office and medical building designed by Frank Gehry. Work is now under way on what has proved to be a major financial asset, the land under the hospital's former parking lot on William Street. The deal was engineered by the mayor, who got Bruce Ratner to develop the project.
