In 2001, Forest City Ratner and selected equity partner ING Clarion prepared to begin development of the New York Times' new Manhattan headquarters on Eight Avenue, between 40th and 41st Street. When disaster struck, on September 11, 2001, all parties had shaken hands, but no legally binding documents had been executed. The New York Times, Forest City Ratner, ING Clarion, and the City and State of New York must meet to evaluate the project's feasibility. Will all four parties be able to reconcile their conflicting agendas and find a common ground?
