N.Y. Times turns page on old headquarters
Paper publishes last edition before move to new site
AP, via The Boston Globe
Amid champagne and moving boxes, New York Times staffers selected all the news that was fit to print for a final time at their century-old headquarters yesterday.
The newspaper's Manhattan employees were busy packing up in their storied stone building on West 43 d Street and moving the newsroom into a new tower just a walk to the south.
...
The latest building was a joint venture between The New York Times Co. and Forest City Ratner Cos. It was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano in collaboration with the Manhattan-based architectural firm of Fox & Fowle.
NoLandGrab: And don't forget that Bruce Ratner and the Times used eminent domain to acquire the property for the new Times Tower. Like, when does Ratner NOT use eminent domain?
