Mady surely knew that extra spots would be needed. First mistake was not to plan for those in 144 itself. The next mistake, after they locked down the design, was to bury the problem by selling other units' spots, delaying the pain.
They could have negotiated for extra spots at an external facility, with rights for future inside spots when 155 would be built -- not as desirable, but it would have kept them out of trouble.
Or they could have offered a significant discount to people willing to buy a unit without parking. They surely would have found some takers for those, too.
