It’s déjà vu all over again. Financial firms are in talks with Vornado Realty Trust for its proposed 3-million-square-foot jumbo skyscraper known as 15 Penn Plaza, which would replace the dowager Hotel Pennsylvania on Seventh Avenue.

“Morgan Stanley is looking very hard at [15] Penn Plaza,” our Midtown spy reported.

According to another scout, Vornado is presenting new building designs and not just the original 1,216-foot- tall Pelli Clarke Pelli design that passed New York City muster a decade ago.

“Steve Roth understands space and architecture better than most developers and, if he was going to restart the project, any tenant that size would be part and party to that design,” explained another source, referring to Vornado’s chief executive.

“It’s not just the look and feel of it, but does someone want AC under the floor and not on top? Whoever the tenant is will have ideas of their own. It’s a big, beautiful building with large floor plates in the base that would be great for collaboration,” the source said.

After a question from an analyst on Vornado’s May 2 conference call, Roth said, “There is stuff going on with the Hotel Pennsylvania and stuff going on with 2 Penn.”
