Yep, Toronto has a few, and there even on the new builds with parking most units don't have a parking space. I'm reading 30% having parking is becoming the norm in downtown Toronto. There's also a recent high rise in Calgary with no parking.

I'm not sure about that. I think expectation is definitely that 90%+ of residents won't have a car. The Duke/Ontario garage actually regularly has a waiting list for monthly parking passes. It's Charles/Benton, KPL, and Market garages that have lots of extra space, but they're further away.
There's already lots of units in DTK without parking, so it doesn't seem unreasonable. I already feel like most people I know that live in DTK don't have a car. Some use car share, but a lot just take transit, walk, or cycle everywhere.
