In June, Sharif el-Gamal, the developer of the GZM or someone in his place placed a listing for The House (Cordoba) on Islamic Finder. It explained the site of the proposed GZM could hold up to 1,000 people to pray. Now, they downplay it as just a pray space in a community center:
"...We are trying to establish a full fledged Islamic Center in the lower Manhattan, only 2 blocks from World Trade Center, New York City, NY. It is a neat and clean facility and can accomodate 1,000 people to pray in Jamat at one time."Screen shot of Islamic Finder entry taken 8/25/10 at 4:00 PM CT:
