Tower 5 no good for bank?JP Morgan Chase is unlikely to build a headquarters tower on the southernmost development parcel at the World Trade Center site, as published reports indicated earlier in the week. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the investment bank was in talks with the Port Authority to purchase the rights to build a tower on the parcel, now occupied by the derelict derelict n. something or someone who is abandoned, such as a ship left to drift at sea or a homeless person ignored by family and society.

Tower Five will sit above the World Trade center site's vehicle security center, a station that will screen all traffic entering the World Trade Center site. "You're going to have a building that overhangs the line of cars before they pass through the security checkpoint," a source said. "It's just not something that JP Morgan Chase is likely to do." The source said that a residential building, as was originally proposed for the site by Mayor Bloomberg, or a smaller office tower would better allow the type of safety buffer between the street and the building that the site's designers have sought for the other towers on the site. |
