Luckily, they measured, and it's going to fit after all!

Optical illusion. You can measure the site area, using Google.
Remember this includes everything up to the railway embankment more or less, give or take set backs/separation from the building to the north.
It's actually quite a large footprint.

It does appear narrow!

Much larger than the footprint for TenYork. This is a pretty large site. It’s interesting watching construction in the middle of already dense areas.

It also has a bit of a 'hang-over' on top of the rail berm.

Yes, it's narrower, but it's also much longer. The building has been designed with that in mind.

I thought the footprints of both phases were the same? At least that's what it appears like in the architectural plans.
The second tower is just rotated to align with the tight corridor it's being built in.

could it be the podium of phase 2?

You're on the money! That's exactly what that outline is:
Because this is a mainly core supported building, I presume they don't need to anchor that portion of the building in with a foundation.
