In response to that, they have to dig even deeper holes to get the foundations down to bedrock, as with all downtown buildings. Also, IIRC, the Monroe blocks were also planned to have underground parking. So if both blocks have underground parking, then it would likely go under the street, requiring its' removal, and replacement by a pedestrian zone. And of course the National Theatre arch and towers were going to be moved to become the arched framework for the Monroe Ave. entrance of that pedestrian street zone.

If indeed this is still the plan.
