The writeup reads like its straight from the mouth of the developers, which says little about the reality of these projects. "...advanced space age underground automated parking" is a bit too much to digest.

I spoke with the developer last night and it looks like it's never going to happen. As pale of an attempt as it was at building large scale green in Atlanta, it was nonetheless an attempt. For Atlanta, that's a big deal considering that most people look at you like you're insane when you mention anything related to green building.

Persons who can afford to live there probably can afford such a vehicle but encouraging mass transit would be ideal.

The ‘most advanced space age underground automated parking systems’ should be a bus or train. How about solar panels to shade windows from heat gain? Why is Inhabitat passing on press releases promoting architects who create 57,000 square foot single family opulent homes? What a bunch of green washing.

If this were a truly green tower, it would have little to no parking in an effort to encourage its inhabitants to use alternative transportation. The idea of "more cars" sounds like a step backward . . . “The technology optimizes space utilization, which allows for more cars in less space.”
