First of all, it would cost an astronomical amount because the land on which he wants it located cannot support such a heavy, tall structure. To make it support such a structure would call for a massive re-make of the site

Second, he would have to get Congressional approval to build it, and there are already lawsuits filed maintaining this. He would also have to be in compliance with environmental and historic preservation regulations.
