Does anyone know how the Tishman Hotel building is comng along? Is this the one hat had the scaffold accident last summer? Are there any plans for the world's tallest skyscraper to be built back in Manhattan?

  Tishman Construction is the contractor of the Condé Nast Building, which had the scaffold accident, but whether this is the building in question as the hotel, I don't know...
  What comes to the world's tallest issue, I doubt that any realistic plans are being even considered at the moment -- fortunately so... ED

  The Conde Nast Bldg. will be an office tower. I don't think there will be a hotel in it. Tishman could be the contractors of the E-walk project, which will include a 45-storey hotel tower, or the 53-storey Planet Hollywood Hotel. I'm not sure how far along these projects are. Sadly, I don't think New York will get back the world's tallest title in the near future. There seems to be too much oppostion from some of the more powerful people there. Ask Donald Trump. He's tried several times. Chicago has the best chance of bring the title back to America.
