Slight change in plans. Here's a quote from an article in the Observer:

Brookfield’s Ric Clark: ‘Once in a Century’ Chance on West Side
by Eliot Brown
November 27, 2007
What’s the status of your plans to develop a large site on Ninth Avenue just west of Penn Station?
We’re just working through the details on a couple of different alternatives.
The site at the moment looks most likely like it will be a two-building office complex, roughly five million rentable square feet, with a grand covered public space in between the two buildings. A variation on that scheme is, we might include a hotel/residential building on the southwest portion of the site.
Would you build the commercial on spec, or would you want an anchor tenant?
The current thinking—the smallest building on the property is about 1.8 million square feet. That’s a very sizable building to do on spec, so most likely we would look to land an office tenant.
