It's not really good news. This would be built no sooner than an office tower. Larry Silverstein has his own troubles trying to build a residential/hotel tower just blocks away.

That's true. Other than towers 2 and 3 (which the PA doesn't want built for years), this would be the only other option for office space Downtown. You have to wonder if certain factions of the PA don't want Lower Manhattan to rebound to what it was. Afterall, the longer it takes to absorb office space Downtown, the longer it would take for JC to rebound (remember, that wasn't an issue the first time around). On the other hand, if there's nowhere left to build Downtown, Midtown isn't necessarily the next option. Jersey City could be a prime location for the Downtown set.
