Bruce & MaryAnne
Last night, the Municipal Art Society bestowed a Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Medal (MAS’s highest honor) on Forest City Ratner executive chairman Bruce Ratner and CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin at 583 Park Ave, raising $1M in the process (we assume they decided who gets to wear the medal via a spirited game of rock-paper-scissors). Bruce gave Brooklyn a chance when he built MetroTech Center in the ’90s, and he and MaryAnne are turning the borough into a frontier again via the revolutionary high-rise, modular residential development at Atlantic Yards, not to mention Barclays Center. Forest City Ratner also is behind the Renzo Piano-designed New York Times Building in Midtown Manhattan and the New York by Gehry condos at 8 Spruce St in Downtown Manhattan.
