Summary
Nathan Berman, the developer behind Pfizer’s Midtown East office-to-apartment conversion, is reassuring investors after a major structural scare—bricks fell, floors sagged, and fire crews evacuated workers amid buckled columns. Calling it a “freak accident” affecting only a few columns, Berman insists the building wasn’t in danger of collapse and vows the project will still hit its 2025 completion date, with just a few weeks delayed. His team is rebuilding 15 floors, replacing facade, concrete, and steel. The project already secured a record $700M construction loan in May and additional funding from a partner for a connected site. Shoring and stabilization are expected to finish in days, but a partial stop-work order remains in place—investors are watching closely as repairs and code compliance take center stage.
