Q Condos (20 Queen St N) | 34 fl | Proposed

They could give me the .dwg file and I could open up AutoCAD and easily figure out a way to both save this building and build a condo tower on the same structure...it's not hard, but I am guessing they're not willing to spend the money to engineer that.

I did talk to them about that, they've been getting a lot of pressure from council to look in to it. The problem is where do you put elevator shafts, garbage chutes, stairwells, etc, if you're not allowed to touch that ceiling. That room + the facade covers most of the footprint of the property.
