That may be true, but given the fact that it's a refined version of what was being marketed just last year to Facebook, plastered along with the current plans for 2 Penn, I would say it's obvious that's not the case.
That being said, it doesn't mean it's the design they will move forward with in the future - depending on when things actually get moving.
Vornado has long said the Hotel was a placeholder, and was content with that as long as the hotel was doing good business. Now, with tourism at a standstill, and no idea how long before things pick up enough to justify reopening that large hotel, it makes sense to consider options now. Still, I'd say its 50/50 on ee-opening.
