Yeah I agree. I would think that the foundations of a new building this tall will need to take up pretty much the whole site, and working under and then up through an existing building would add too much cost. On top of that, arranging the new elevator and stairwells and meeting all the codes while working around an existing building layout in the lower levels would probably limit the efficiency of the design up above.
