I think Hotel Penn will host the future tallest in time. Will probably be a decade or so, but that location, with its accessibility, location, and current price/sq ft could be a monolith. I don't think 15 Penn Plaza will be built in its current form. Its a vision for now, but Vornado should make that site the future tallest. An office tower that takes the spot light from 1WTC, and breaches the coveted mega tall range. The New ESB of the 21st Century.
I'd rather see space there than in Midtown East. Ideally, the West Side should continue to fill up, the demand will be allocated to the current surplus coming online in the next 5-10 years, and after, as the appetite grows again, make that spot the ideal launching pad for the next boom cycle.
Hotel Penn's time is finite. In time, something will rise there. Question is, on what magnitude? Hopefully Vornado can make it happen. At least that's the dream.
