In yet another slap against developer Forest City Ratner, architect Frank Gehry has axed nearly every employee working on the stalled Atlantic Yards project, sources told the Daily News.
“Almost all the people working on the Brooklyn project got laid off,” said a source familiar with the cuts who claimed the developer had refused to pay Gehry additional costs for design revisions. “Basically, he’s not willing to pay.”
Gehry’s Los Angeles-based firm laid off two dozen employes working on the Atlantic Yards projects the day before Thanksgiving, according to sources.
Location Scout: Atlantic Yards.
