^ Less height I believe, but surface parking makes zero sense.

Looking at the original site plan, by cutting the residential in half I can see the apartment tower being shrunk. The amount of retail, however, is staying about the same. Where are you going to get room for 1000 surface parking spaces?

Hell, you'd probably have to fill the entire 8.2 acre lot in order to do that, and I'm doubtful that even that is enough space.
