Frank Gehry’s Beekman Tower Issued a ‘Stop Work’ Order

Although he recently landed the Signature Theater commission just a few days back, 2010 doesn’t seem to be shaping up to be Frank Gehry‘s flawless year. At least in New York. His Beekman Tower, which saw its height cut in half just under a year ago, has now landed back in the news as our pals over at Curbed report that, due to debris falling from its construction site caused by high winds, a stop work order has been issued by the city and construction has come to an abrupt halt, likely not helping the already penny-pinched development. So another new bummer for Gehry. But hey, at least it’s not another leaky building issue, right?
