Most people are skeptical of it. It's even more unlikely when you consider Silverstein himself is getting up in years. But Larry Silverstein was behind at least one of the delays of this tower - remember he did put it on hold for six months hoping to get a commitment from Merrill Lynch for a larger, taller tower. There were plans drawn up, though we've never seen them, and I'm convinced Silverstein thinks he can eventually get that larger tower built.
