Construction Halted At Goldman Sachs NYC Site

New Safety Measures Proposed Before Work Resumes

NEW YORK (AP) ― Goldman Sachs said it will not resume construction at its new lower Manhattan headquarters until new safety measures are in place.

State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver announced Sunday that Goldman has promised safety provisions beyond what the city building code requires.

The stepped-up safety efforts come after a piece of metal fell 18 stories off the building May 17. The chunk of steel landed on a field where Little League games were being played.

Goldman Sachs and contractor Tishman Construction Corp. said there won't be any more weekend work on the 43-story tower during Little League season.

At the same site in December, a crane dropped seven tons of steel and injured an architect in a trailer below.
