The extra floor area comes from all of that plaza space around the building. Take a look at NYGUY's midtown district map and see the red "C6-6" square. That's the separate tax lot for 2 penn and where this will be built, and you can see how big it is compared to the building that sits on it.

If MSG ever does go they probably shouldn't put any skyscrapers in its place, it should really be a spacious headhouse.

I think that this is part of a bigger proposal that will include MSG.
