Nicolas Heron, 39, a TriBeCa resident, said his twins, Sam and Mia, who started kindergarten Thursday, have been excitedly watching the rise of the Gehry's rippling apartment tower above their new school.
The four - story brick school — which forms the base of Frank Gehry's rippling 76 - story apartmenttower — will open its doors in September with more than 200 students from pre-K to second grade.
