Hopefully we get a bunch of prominent towers on those cleared blocks, alongside a grand south entrance/concourse for Penn.

The block below Penn/MSG ( 7th to 8th ) will be the site of the expanded Penn Station to the south, with large towers above it.
The block below Moynihan would likely see development on the northern side (31st Street). Those are commercial buildings (bank, dmv, a business school). I can see that being redeveloped with more hotel/residential space. The corner of the block, which is currently a bus lot/station and a few stores on 8th Avenue could support an office tower.
The southside however, (30th St) is a nice, residential NYC block, the kind you can't build in Hudson Yards. It wouldn't be necessary to demolish it, and I would support any NIMBYism in opposition to it.
