Or will they have to do mechanical demolition (demolishing it floor by floor) such as the DuetscheBank building in NYC?
No way you can implode a building that size. It's too big to control. 9/11 wasn't a controlled demolition, but it's about as orderly as a collapsing 100+ story building could be. Basically, everything within 2 blocks gets trashed.
