That plan was shot down by rich Hoboken NIMBYs and the Riverview Neighborhood Association (they didn't want their views of Manhattan's skyscrapers blocked by...uh, a skyscraper). The city of Hoboken sued Jersey City and won on a technicality that got the Milennium Towers' Planning Board approval overturned.
The Planning Board could have just re-approved the project, but it was too late by the time the judge ruled the original approval was invalid. The approval was contingent on building a Jersey Ave light rail station. While the issue was working its way through the courts, the light rail station plan lost momentum, so the project was pretty much dead at that point.
