KPMG? Shouldn't the tower look like a giant golf bag instead?

No need to insert "cliches" when you can insert the truth. It's why I'm glad we had the smart people in charge to make the changes necessary to make such a tower possible, or we would be looking at a museum evntually. It's 2019. Things change. Styles change. Tastes change. And more importantly, what is considered optimal working spaces today aren't the same as it was in 1960. But yeah, let's let older buildings stand just so people can look at them and pretend it is.

Hadn't though of that, but it does. I would like some more refinement at the top. I like it a lot more at the street level.

Yeah, just as I wanted to see you wander out of the wilderness with your not-so-witty commentary again.

I never said it wouldn't happen with the current design. I'm saying they still have options, including designing another tower if so desired. (just look at 2 WTC or 15 Penn).
They also have the option to develop each property separately, but that wouldn't be the best course of action for either of them.
