True, but this change came pretty late in the design. I think it made a lot more sense to scrap the townhouses than to redesign the tower for a podium. Usually the rental portion has to be designed almost as a seperate building code-wise (think additional exit stairs).
Fun fact was this redesign also let the tower get taller by 4 or 5 floors too.
