Well, of course here The Usual Suspects (TM Regd.) would object to such a proposal because
It's TOO TALL!!
The Carvana operation in the US has interesting towers to show off their inventory:
The thing is, selling new cars isn't what's particularly profitable for dealers. It is the used car and service/parts part of the business where they make real money, which means you need a service department, which means you need considerable land. The service work is convenient to have near where people work each day. That's why the Centre Plan prohibition is so idiotic.
Most dealers on the peninsula (I can't speak for Steele) keep a lot of their inventory elsewhere than at the showroom site.
