They hinted at this earlier, plans for condos (as opposed to the "ground zero mosque"). Would have been nice to see a Jean Nouvel designed tower here.

El-Gamal to build luxury condo at 45 Park Place

Quote:
We are thrilled to contribute to the continued renaissance of Lower Manhattan and the new Downtown skyline,” El-Gamal said in a statement. The number of units in the tower wasn’t disclosed.
The developer previously sought to build a 15-story Islamic cultural center at the adjacent 51 Park Place site, which is located two blocks from the World Trade Center site. Critics of the Park51 project termed it the “Ground Zero mosque,” given its proximity to the site of the September 11 attacks. Soho Properties will now build a three-story museum dedicated to Islam at that site.
