^ I've been interested in the reconfiguration of the building since it was first announced. Sounds like it would likely involve removal of some floors, a little similar to 425 Park Avenue perhaps.
I'm also willing to go out on a limb and suggests they would be willing to work with the original scheme by Zaha Hadid.

The $2.85 billion deal made by Kushner with the Chinese insurance giant Anbang to recapitalize 666 Fifth Ave. will allow the family company to reconfigure it into a 1,400-foot-tall luxury condominium building over a larger retail component...
As The Post reported in 2015, Jared Kushner had hired Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid to prepare the scheme.
The architect passed away suddenly last year, and while her firm continues, it is unclear if her plan would move forward or if another architect would be hired, or if a hotel is still planned as part of the new project.
