West facing views would also usually be preferred.
There are also 2 lots between the Listel project and this one.
Those could be redeveloped separately.
I think madog222's reasoning on keeping the core out of the way makes the most sense.

But those two buildings are currently on a single lot which is only 40 metres wide so that would only support a single tower? They would need a 12.2m setback against each interior property line.

I don't think they need to leave 12.2m from the Listel residential tower, because that's already going to be 80' from the property line. To get an 80' separation on the middle lot, from the proposed tower at 1394, they would need more than 12.2m, as despite the proposed smaller floor plate than the theoretical 5,500 sf in the guidelines, and moving the tower as close to the street as they can, they still only leave something like 20' to the middle kproperty. A tower built on that site would be offset, and closer to the Listel than to the proposed tower, and meet the guidelines just fine.
