The Turnstyle project secured Goldman Sachs’ Urban Investment Group as a joint-venture partner. Construction is set to begin in about a month and the retail concourse is scheduled to open by the end of 2015. The article goes on to mention that more than 75% of retail space is now committed and will feature 34 retailers catering to the estimated 88,000 people who pass through the subway station on a weekday. Olshan Real Estate Partner Nina Roket is the lead partner handling the leasing for the project. Assistance on the project is provided as follows: Eric Goldberg handled financing with Goldman Sachs; Alexander Ferrini is handling the construction contracts; and Dov Brandstatter is assisting with the retail leasing.
