Looks like they forgot the portico along King St. Just a small, less useful, one along Francis St., enough to prove that they can do it but that they just don’t care to meet the street properly.
I will also say that it could very well make perfect sense to demolish newer buildings in order to build something that huge. It doesn’t really matter what is there or when it was built if we’re going from 3 stories (or is it just 2?) to dozens. Unfortunate timing, sure, but not fundamentally different from demolishing (hypothetical) Grandma’s house with the new kitchen she had built 2 years before she died.
