As JPMorgan Chase plans on taking over the Bear Stearns building at 388 Madison Avenue instead of building a new headquarters at the site of the old Deutsche Bank building, a residential or mixed-use tower could be built there instead. Last week, World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein had touted JPMorgan’s planned tower as a sign that the area was a financial hub.
