Well the days of both 70 Pine and 40 Wall (among others) remaining as office buildings are limited. I know if Trump had it his way a few years back, 40 Wall would already be a residential building.
To me this building has served its purpose as an office building for modern day standards, but at the same time can Lower Manhattan really afford to lose another office tower, even one that's not quite up to par.
In terms of the name, I could really care less to see 'American International Bldg.' leave. I've always called it either 70 Pine or the City Services Bldg. So no real loss there.
