The thing that makes most sense is for this to be razed and replaced by a hotel/condo. They can do that with a 100 year ground lease.
Bidding Is Active for HBO Building
Bidding has been robust for the 15-story building at 1100 Sixth Ave. that is currently HBO’s headquarters, according to people familiar with the matter.
About a dozen different investors are vying for the 315,000-square-foot property at West 42nd Street, the people said. It is expected to be vacated by HBO in about three years. HBO is leaving as part of its plan to joins its parent company, Time Warner Inc., at the Hudson Yards development currently under construction.
I’m kinda craving something unique for this parcel. Would be cool to have a Foster design next to an Ingels creation. Almost like a duo of two great architects.
probably conceptual but still an improvement over the current building as is.

I noticed yesterday that they were doing a lot of work on the north plaza and the bluestone coffee shop is closed. Got a pic of the south facade scaffolding going up.
