Summary
Midtown’s massive Pfizer conversion project hit a scare when videos showed sagging columns, sparking fears of collapse—but developer Nathan Berman insists it’s a minor, fixable glitch. He claims the building’s design is sound, approved by engineers, and the buckling was caused by added weight during construction. Only two columns are affected, and no bricks were involved—since the building’s base is rock-solid. Repairs are underway, and Berman says they’re even ahead of schedule, with completion still on track for 2027. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
