I believe the developer did offer to buy the house so that there would be better access to the underground parkade and a bigger building footprint.
I think greed got in the way... either too low of an offer or too high an asking price. you pick. Old fashioned pissing contest.
I do know that once the developer decided not to buy, they spent considerable time, effort and money to insure that when they dug out the underground that the house would not be comprimised.
