Under Cover: Nice sore thumb
Downtown Express
Developer Bruce Ratner may still have mega-money problems but his Beekman St. condo tower is going up fast. After finally resuming construction from a hole in the ground two months ago, the building structure is now several stories high.
UnderCover ain’t seen nothing yet, a construction worker who appreciates the aesthetics of a sore thumb told us last week. “Once it hits 11 [floors], it’s going to go really fast,” he said. “It’s going to look nice -- it’s going to stick out like a sore thumb.”
Is Frank Gehry’s intricate design making it complicated to build? “That’s another thing,” the worker agreed.
