Knock them down. Rezone, build shit that's useful.

Like a skyscraper of the same size but with apartments? The original idea seems pretty practical to me.

One popular option is floor level businesses with apartments above them. Doesn't necessarily have to be as tall, many of these skyscrapers take a lot of space for landscaping that could be used for square footage. On top of this, other areas could also be rezone and recreated into city parks to make up for the over indulgent landscaping.
