^For what it's worth, this tower was only overhauled about 6 years ago. From what I've read, they completely gutted and renovated 10 floors at a time, we're not just talking snazzy new office interiors, but a full mechanical replacement and revamp too- all new systems. So for all intents and purposes, it may as well be a new building. There are plenty of shorter, crummier, really lousy little buildings in Midtown east, they are probably the real intended targets of this rezoning. I still feel bad about this one, I wish that all this air rights business didn't make it harder for JP Morgan to sell this building and build their new HQ somewhere close by.
