Assuming it isn’t intended to return to earth at terminal velocity the station will ALSO need to bear the mass of arresting its descent, so no, that wouldn’t do much.

There’s no need for that speed. Ships won’t have to be build on the ground. The ideal is having an space dock at the geosync part and only move up and down the payload, not the ships.
