"Everything west of Penn Station". Aside from a few historic streets and buildings. I hope you're not in city planning with that kind of thinking. West of Penn Station is the city's own Hudson Yards redevelopment, which will include 30 msf of office and residential space. Even there, we're not talking "hundreds" of sites, and they won't wipe the existing hood clear off the map.
Same thing here. There will be a relatively handful of buildings that can be built. There may be some skyline changing elements, but from the street? Manhattan will be the same as it is today basically, aside from the planned pedestrian improvements. There will be a few new towers mixed in among the old buildings that have stood for so long. Even those that aren't landmarked.
