The situation at St. Vincent’s is looking up; Atlantic Yards tower may get Freedom Tower architect Childs.
The debt-beleaguered St. Vincent’s Hospital has reportedly received offers of intent from other health care providers to assume control of its Westchester facility and others, which would have a positive impact on the hospital’s financial state. An offer from health consortium Continuum Health Partners was recently withdrawn amid concerns over the prospect of relocating the hospital’s Greenwich Village facilities.
Architect David Childs from the architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill may design one of the high-rise residential towers planned for Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn. Childs is the architect behind 1 World Trade Center, formerly known as the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero. Last year Ratner cut noted architect Frank O. Gehry from the project, presumably to reduce costs, and has since that time been considering a number of architects, including the young local firm SHoP Architects, to work together to design the development’s various residential buildings as well as the planned New Jersey Nets arena.
