Not necessarily.
The future MTA building owners could still access the Grand Central air rights (already in existence), or they could combine with the adjacent building to maximize the upzoned block rights.
The smaller, non-full block prewar buildings are all getting redeveloped anyways, regardless of this new zoning. Probably the majority have new facades and/or additions, and the passerby can't tell when most of these buildings were originally built.
