Frank Gehry’s first skyscraper is finally opening its doors, developer Bruce Ratner announced Monday.
New York by Gehry, a 76-story tower just south of the Brooklyn Bridge, will open its apartment doors to prospective renters this week. Visitors will be able to tour a 37th-floor rental gallery, along with 18 model apartments, which Gehry also designed.
Gehry said in a statement that designing the interiors of the apartments as well as the building’s exterior made him feel connected to the thousands of people who would soon call the tower home.
"I hope they like it," the architect said in the statement.
