NEW YORK CITY-A new skyscraper is set to open two blocks from the Empire State Building in the middle of the controversy surrounding the planned 15 Penn Plaza tower.

Critics feared that the Setai Fifth Avenue condominium and hotel tower project, measuring 1,200 square feet, would be taller than the Empire State Building. However, the Setai, which comprises 57 apartments and 157 hotel rooms, is not as tall as expected. For the full story, go to Wall Street Journal.
