My guess is that they only mean completing Burnham's plan in a general way, 
which would be the addition of a tower on the site.  

I don't know if Burnham drew up detailed plans for a tower, but if he did 
chances are his 1925 plans wouldn't have met with the desires of today.  
Among the things being proposed that wouldn't have been suggested in the 
original plan are the parking facilities, high-tech offices and modern HVAC.
