I wasn't implying that the tower would actually be built floating on top of a heritage building,, both buildings require piles within the facade to support the new structure. Unlike the UofM new residence that was built on top of an existing building that require super long and massive engineered beams allowing the tower to be supported on piles outside the existing building.
