Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Ken Griffin's New York City Skyscraper Project Defies City Politics. Despite being at odds with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin's ambitious $1.4 billion skyscraper project in Manhattan is moving forward. The high-rise development, set to be built on the site of a former hospital, has been a contentious issue in the city, with Griffin publicly clashing with Mayor Mamdani over zoning laws and development regulations. The project's approval comes as a significant victory for Griffin, who has been a major player in shaping the city's real estate landscape. However, the feud between Griffin and Mayor Mamdani is far from over, with implications for the future of development in the city.
