But adding floors, even one floor would have major implications to the foundation and structural design, not to mention building budget and these things take months and months to coordinate and get approved. Adding floors now would delay the project perhaps a year and throw away tens of millions of dollars of engineering work that has been done.
If that was directed at my comment, I was just kidding.

And in terms of requiring foundation work before a project is moved to the "Construction" forum, I assume that's because of the Disney Quest phenomenon (dig a big hole and then fill it back in). But I'm relatively new here, so perhaps someone else can shed some light on that.
