Tishman Speyer Taps Fried Frank to Lock up NYC Rail Yards Bid
New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the nation's largest public transportation system, has awarded Tishman Speyer Properties the right to develop the city's West Side rail yards. Representing Tishman in the request for proposals process were Fried Frank partners Jonathan Mechanic and Stephen Lefkowitz, along with associates Molly Dunham and Daniel Benavides. Tishman's winning offer of more than $1 billion trumped proposals from heavyweights Vornado Realty Trust and The Durst Organization.
