NYC DEVELOPER: ELEVATORS AS TERRORISM RISK “ABSURD”
Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant subway elevators that are part of the 1,127-ft.-tall 85 Broad Street residential supertall project in downtown New York City (NYC) by Madison Equities drew criticism from some who claimed they presented a terrorism risk, a claim Madison Equities CEO Robert Gladstone called "absurd" in an interview with New York YIMBY. The elevators, part of the project designed by CetraRuddy, were greenlit by the city earlier this year. Gladstone said “if someone wanted to maximize damage, blowing up an elevator would be the last place that they would make such an attempt. The design and construction of the elevators will absorb the energy of an explosive device."
