That will be on delay for a while, in the meantime we'll get the plaza.

In seeking financial backing to begin construction of the towers, the company has arranged for $249 million in loans from investors in China through a government program that offers immigrants green cards in exchange for a $500,000 investment.

...An office tower planned for the area in front of the arena is on indefinite delay, because the company has been unable to secure a lead tenant. In its place, there will be a public plaza in front of the subway entrance and main entrance to the arena.
This tower will be on the SE side of the arena.
