Gothamist: [Silverstein] has agreed to the recent proposal of (1) giving the Port Authority control of Freedom Tower - though Silverstein gets to build it;
NY Times: Under the new agreement, Mr. Silverstein . . . would cede responsibility for building the Freedom Tower, . . . to the authority.
Come on Gothamist, get it right.
Reading between the lines of Silverstein's comments I saw, "This is not about profits. This is about a lot of profits. Since I caved in I will hopefully look like less of an asshole when I put up crappy ugly buildings."
It may be that larry and george performed some sleight of hand amongst this week's drama. I saw a picture on ny-1 of the new plans for the wtc site. I only saw a few seconds of it and maybe I'm wrong, but it looked like some of the interesting architecture had disappeared and some of the dumpy generic buildings had re-appeared in the plans. Will be interesting to see what surfaces in tommorrows paper. Where's the new Jane Jacobs.
