New Concept for the Planned WallStreet Tower?
Developers of a luxury condominium unit here in Omaha called WallStreet Tower insist the $100 million-plus project will go forward despite the severe downturn in the economy. Instead of two towers, the building will have just one, and it will be a bit thinner than was originally planned, with fewer units. Developers wouldn’t say how many people had actually made deposits on the luxury units and denied rumors that prospective tenants had made down payments with food stamps and credit card balance transfers.
“We are still in love with the name,” said one of the developers. “Wall Street is extremely popular with the American public right now, especially here in the Mid-Heartland. We thought about calling it Lehman Towers or the Bear Stearns Building, both of which would also have high branding potential, but might also create trademark problems.”

This is very dissapointing. I would say just stick to the original exciting plan originally proposed. the units will sale much faster once built. I love the originally plan but will never buy one before it’s built….
Fail!
