It would be out of place, and its not as if companies looking to move to the west side will be looking to move into old office space. Sure they could build a new tower, but they need to assemble the entire site to build as much space as they are allowed. This area was specifically rezoned to accommodate larger office buildings, not just new towers. All of the investments being put into this area (new subway, streets, boulevard, etc.) aren't being made to keep the questionable buildings that are already there in place. It would be besides the point.
