Retention of the Kaufman mansion is a given, whatever the new plan involves. Part of me would like to see the chapel extension saved as well, as I think it could be made into a good serious music venue. That will not happen, obviously, if the property remains in the hands of a private developer. I always thought the original SIXO plan was too ambitious (and I wasn't pleased when they "dumbed down" the original design concept) , so it won't surprise me if the new proposal is more modest. Depending on what the new proponents paid for the site (was the price disclosed?), I might be overly pessimistic.
Anyway, to keep things somewhat on topic, I wouldn't see this as a "lost opportunity", as it is common for development proposals to change over time.
