James F. Gill, former chairman of the Battery Park City Authority, signs the flagpole at the topping-off ceremony for Battery Park City’s site 22. Like sites 23 & 24, site 22 was converted into a residential building in the mid 2000s.
"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."
