Hmm.

38 acres is 1,655,280 square feet, or 153,781 square metres
600,000 square feet is 55,741 square metres
each 28 square metres of office requires 1 parking space
55,741 square metres of office requires 1,990 parking spaces
Parking spaces are required to be at least 2.6m by 5.5m or 14.3 square metres
1,990 parking spaces is 28,457 square metres
Probably have to double that to account for parking aisles, so 56,914 square metres of parking

We are up to 112,655 square metres so far out of 153,781.
The rest is likely landscaping and stormwater management. It's also likely that the estimate is gross leasable space, which means the building footprint would be 10-20% larger.

Yes, it's sparse. It's also required by zoning.
