Agreed. But this needs to be as big as possible.

why spend money on a expensive architect firm when you are not interested in building it.

Discussion of the reason for the parking change can be found the correspondence.

I'd be interested to know what the premium is for the 1 parking spot...

Not much, its at-grade, squeezed between the elevator core and the electrical vault and in front of the loading zone.

In that spot, it would never have been residential space or retail.

Visitor space in top-left of image, Yonge is not seen here it would be at the bottom.

Obviously not an engineer! (I know this will be anchored in bedrock) but my un-informed skyscraper nerd brain still insists a 280 metre tower must have... a very deep hole... poured full with a gazillion tons of steel reinforced concrete... or she tips over.

Spoiler: Burj Kalifa

Then I remembered they built the 1/2 mile high Burj Kalifa on sand and it's still standing (thanks to a giant raft foundation 15 metres thick atop 194 friction piles 50 metres deep… yes I looked it up ;-)

...because KingSett can sell this to the likes of Concord, Marlin Spring or Pemberton for a padded price, so they can bring in their own architects to build something of equal scale...but for considerably less cost. And to put it politely. /bleh
