New York Wheel was supposed to appear this year and become the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. But after litigation, which ended this week, the developer dismissed the team for the design and construction of the facility.
According to court documents released on Wednesday, the developer accused the members of the team Mammoet-Starneth LLC that they «failed to meet the deadlines developing design and construction». These delays in the work of the team cost the NY Wheel developer in $ 16 million and $ 20 million in lost profits.
The project is now «postponed indefinitely», according to Gothamist.»Due to the inability of the team Mammoet-Starneth LLC to perform work in time, the developer came to the decision that the best solution for the project will be the search for new tools adopted the remaining aspects of the contract «turnkey»,» said Kristin Nicholas, the press Secretary of the NY Wheel.
For the first time the idea of building a giant Ferris wheel approved at City Council in 2013, and the date of its opening was 2016. But since construction began 2 years ago, there are some differences.
