Billionaire investor Bill Ackman’s plans for a Norman Foster-designed glass penthouse on the roof of a Manhattan apartment tower are facing a setback.
At a hearing Tuesday, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission declined to vote on whether Ackman and his wife, Neri Oxman, could replace a pink stucco home atop the Upper West Side property with a more modern, floor-to-ceiling glass design. Instead, the couple was told to revisit their proposal.
