NEW YORK CITY—Adding another chapter to its bitter feud withForest City Ratner, Skanska has quit the Pacific Park job. Thecontractor had been under contract as the construction and factorymanager for the first residential tower—known as B2 and slatedfor development using modular construction—at the complex, whichwas previously known as Atlantic Yards.

The dispute became public last month when Skanska issued acease and desist order to the 157 workers it had on the site.That measure prompted a series of lawsuit filings by both sides.

According to a written statement, Skanska notified FCR on Aug.8^th of its intent to terminate its role in the project“if the B2 owner did not address its many material breaches underthe agreement. That August notice was issued after a series ofunsuccessful efforts by Skanska throughout 2014 to resolve thesignificant commercial and design issues facing the B2project. Consistent with its behavior, the B2 owner again tookno action to remedy its breaches, leaving Skanska no choice but toterminate the agreement and pursue its rights to be paid for themillions of dollars in extra costs it has incurred to keep theproject going and its modular factory workers working.”
