Developers behind the American Commerce Centre in Philadelphia are going forward with plans to build the 460m skyscraper in the US city this year, despite the global financial crisis. Sources say that contractors would employ some high-quality, used construction equipment to help cushion expenses for the developers. The skyscraper which would be one of the highest skyscrapers in the world would employ thousands of construction workers and boost jobs when it opens sometime in 2012.
The developers and local politicians worked on changes to their zoning code to make room for the 63-storey tower as council officials state that funding for the project is set on track.
