With the residential market in Center City growing, P&A Associates found financing by going into a partnership with real estate firm Boston Financial to fund its planned residential tower.

Mr. Barnett had hoped to lure the club to his planned 35-story tower on 47th Street, which he said would revitalize the city's diamond and jewelry industry.

Opposition reached an emotional peak with demonstrations against the shadows that a huge planned tower would supposedly send deep into Central Park.

In 1648 Brunengo started building one of two planned towers, but it collapsed on April 29, 1683, for reasons never discovered, and in its fall almost completely destroyed the rest of the church.

And the office itself is 35,000 square feet, or 1.3 percent of the planned 2.6 million-square-foot tower.

A planned tower was never constructed.

The Trump building, the first of two planned towers that will be the tallest residential structures in New Jersey, has only dirt, foundation, scaffolding and cranes right now at its site at Washington and Bay Streets, a block from the Exchange Place PATH station.

A planned tower and extended wing were never constructed, leaving the station smaller than intended.

But there is a growing concern at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and in the Pataki administration that Mr. Silverstein does not have the means to build the Freedom Tower and three other planned commercial towers.

In all likelihood, the planned 1.2 million-square-foot tower near Grand Central Terminal, at the southwest corner of Madison Avenue and 42nd Street, will become the new home of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, real estate executives say.
