That's a far bigger building, though: there simply isn't as much space available in the DTK location. (Maybe if we didn't need parking, but that's not an option today …)
"Simply isn't an option"...I don't see why not. There are many other nearby (new and large) LCBOs that are available with substantial parking for those who want to park near the front door of the LCBO. The one located in DTK probably could survive without it's own parking, given that DTK has plenty of parking for those who want to come here, and also tons and tons of people living here who could just walk in, not to mention transit access.
That being said, there's got to be other reasons, this LCBO doesn't even take up the full site. It could have been 20-30% bigger with the same parking and only losing a seemingly pointless interlocking brick empty space.
