Thanks for the reminder rendering; I forgot that so much of it was parking (because those finishes look so nice). Knowing that, it makes a lot more sense that they would design for fresh air to move through the parking levels.

At least it looks like the dedicated parking levels all have flat floors, instead of sloped. Maybe this was done with the optimistic intention that those floors could potentially be converted over to occupied space. The floor-to-floor height of the parking levels also looks similar to the floor-to-floor height of the commercial office levels, further leading me to believe that these levels could conceivably be finished with drop ceilings, raised floors, etc. and still be at an acceptable height for office use.
