The McBurney YMCA in Manhattan (which Raif's group attempted to purchase in 1999) looks about 13 stories high (just viewed it via Google Streetview).
Sufi Muslims have a rich artistic and musical history. From what I've read the facility will also have performance/gallery space, an amphitheater and a culinary school.
Masjid al-Farah, the current facility is too small to meet the group's needs.
Expansion plans have been in the works for years, even predating 9/11.
