I'm surprised this building got so big- It's air rights were exhausted and they've only gotten new area from committing to subway improvements.
It's larger than I would have expected. If it were really necessary, they could always go the ULURP route and apply for a larger tower. But its just space that BofA can't get across the street, and could have gone to anyone.
