The building on Margaret is a fauxchitecture building, meant to evoke heritage stylings. Its inclusion in the project would have very large financial costs to the developers, as do its setbacks and the overall height, hence why you don't see any affordable housing, good design, or good materials or other public benefits in this plan; the plan is largely designed to suit the theoretical tastes of a few neighbours (I say theoretical because while fauxchitecture sounds good to many, when they actually see it, they can also realize that it just isn't what they were being sold, because you can't be sold that. See the Fairview Park Mall redevelopment and tell me when it's built that the designs, the fake water tower, really set a great design standard).
