Now I'm not aware of the companies finances, but I do know that any company that takes that big of a financial hit isn't running out to build a new multi billion dollar tower.
Regardless of who's in charge, the company has to stay in business, and has to have an address. I'm sure O'Neal wasn't the only hand in considering those options. Otherwise, they would have picked the Hotel Penn site long ago. I think it comes down to the Hotel Penn site, or Tower 3. I don't believe they are going to pick up and start from scratch because time is ticking.
