This was the headquarters. Here's what it looked like back in the "old" days.

Also there are plenty of non core functions still in the city such as finance, risk, HR and some operations personnel, the number floated that would be leaving the city over the next 3 or so years was 4,000.

Still doesn't make sense that they would want to go bigger. The whole reasoning behind the approvals process was so they could build the shorter tower. It only makes sense that the size (in square ft) is what is behind the drive for the larger tower (as opposed to the original).
