I wonder if the City could have asked for a plan to replace the demand (eg remove the need) for the parking that would be lost to build this structure. Car share? Carpooling? Bike lock-ups?
Municipal parking requirements tend to be based on square footage, and the Sun Life buildings haven't changed. However, I do remember hearing that they've been packing more people into the existing building, and that they have had serious parking shortages - though I don't think they have tried charging market price for it.
Sun Life runs shuttles from parking lots at Park/Agnes and at Glasgow/York, and there is at least one independently owned pay lot near Sun Life.
