Pfizer Building’s Structural Hiccup | New York City News

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Midtown’s biggest construction project just hit a major snag—two support columns buckled in the former Pfizer HQ, causing floors to sag. Engineers are racing to stabilize the structure from the 9th floor up, with crews working around the clock. Officials say the building is now secure, with no further movement in 24 hours. Nearby businesses are suffering, while residents are split between sympathy and blame. The cause? Possibly human error or missed reinforcements under new loads. But don’t panic—it’s just a small section of a massive building, and collapse was never a risk. The project’s on track to finish on schedule, with developers confident future residents will love the sturdy, old-school bones of this historic tower.
