In this artist rendering provided by the Hines real estate firm on Thursday, Sept 10, 2009, the proposed tower to go up next to the Museum of Modern Art in New York is shown. New York City's Planning Commission approved the tower Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009 on the condition that its asymmetrical peak be cut 200 feet. While praising the design, the commission said it did not meet the aesthetic criteria to compete with the city's other famous buildings. AP Photo logo AP Photo 2 months ago
