Paris is a much older city than NY and has a lot of that... although NYC has a very good share of old buildings.

I'm not at all saying old buildings aren't important but an old 12 story box, unless there's something very special about it has no importance to NYC's skyline or streets and won't be drawing anyone.

Buildings like Woolworth, Grand Central, Chrysler, ESB etc. are major asthetic attractions, there's nothing wrong with mixing old attractive buildings with new gleaming supertalls.

It looks like there is a chance to see the cities new tallest at this site, and that would be amazing if it happened.
