I was wondering if it had to do with the depth required to go under the south LRT line, as it sinks underground after the library?

IMHO, it's silly as they're going to cut the corners of the two best loft buildings in town (Manhattan & Lewis), and they're Heritage. There's surely going to be foundational issues. Recall just recently, the Hanover building from the huge pit adjacent during TELUS Sky construction.
