Brooklyn Paper editor, Gersh Kuntzman, actually went to the fancy dinner at the Brooklyn Museum, where developer Bruce Ratner was being honored. He even rubbed elbows with star architect Frank Gehry. His report is on the Brooklyn Paper website:

Atlantic Yards architect Frank Gehry told The Brooklyn Paper
Thursday night that his “Miss Brooklyn” tower at Atlantic Yards is not
dead.

In an exclusive interview, he told The Paper that not only will it be built, but it will “look better than anyone imagines.”

Gehry
admitted that developer Bruce Ratner has struggled to find an anchor
tenant for the 511-foot iconic, shimmering glass-walled skyscraper.

But Gehry quickly added: “Bruce will have a tenant soon — and then he’ll begin construction.”

The
Miss Brooklyn tower, proposed for the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush
avenues, would be the gateway to Ratner’s ailing Atlantic Yards
project, which once called for 16 skyscrapers, a basketball arena and
6,800 units of housing, but has since been trimmed back to two or three
buildings, the arena and hundreds of apartments.
