Wait, is the parking garage component dead?

The parking garage is still happening, on the other side of King street, near the dead-end side of Joseph street, AFAIK

Yes, what died was the originally proposed parking garage behind the Phase III tower.

Oh right, now I remember.
I wonder how they'll fill that lot now. Surface for now but you've got to think there's still development potential. The issue was that it was a parking garage, was it not?

The press release announcing that this expansion would get built and was fully leased did say that the surface parking lot may be used for a future phase 4.
Phase 3 is already so massive though I feel it will take Google a long time to fill. KW is already one of Google's largest engineering sites globally, apparently second largest outside the SF Bay area, and this expansion will almost triple it in size. It'll be a while before Google needs more.

Also, my comment was engineering only. NYC has a lot of non-engineering teams, while KW is almost entirely engineering. Other offices I assume are similar to NYC, whereas here they do non-engineering things in Toronto.
