The project includes a separate, 45 st hotel, and a commerical center. Construction is set to begin in 2011, with completion set for 2020.

The developers are currently seeking waivers from the City Planning Dept to permit electronic signage on the towers' glass and aluminum facades, ala Tokyo (or Bladerunner!)"
NO. WAY. This is epic news. Finally the West gets some supertall awesome sauce. On top of that, it will have freakin electronic signage on the tower itself (Or that's how I read it atleast), soooo awesome. I will be checking this thread as much as I do for the WTC buildings!
