Quite daring, to plan such a building. Who knows whether they will need the space, four years from now? With multiple buildings, it is easier to make corrections during construction or even afterwards.
Also, it will be a challenge to make that underground garage look as beautiful as the building. That is what most visitors will initially see from the building.
Finally, will this be a real click wheel or a modern version without moving parts? :-)

I think Steve and Tim know they'll need it. I think the interesting thing is not whether they'll need it, it's not like Apple is in any danger of collapsing, but that it shows they don't anticipate needing more. This fits with what we know about Apple wanting to stay lean and mean but it also makes those plans concrete (lol?).
