...Forest City suggested that Mr. Olin is just on sabbatical. The open space of Mr. Olin's is not a part of Phase 1, which includes a basketball arena and housing towers.
Forest City's statement, via spokesman Joe DePlasco:
"Laurie Olin has been involved from the beginning of the design process and he will be involved in the end. The eight acres of open space will be built as part of Phase 2 of the project, which has always been the case. Mr. Olin has completed preliminary work on that and will be involved going forward."
