And no, we are not squeezing them in tight. There is a law, the construction company can not break it.
All the occupants or just some? Still doing 2 floors and having other floors occupied and 700 people does mean it's a bit tight. Laws must be different in Montreal. The construction laws are about the construction. Space for staff fall under different less stringent laws. Mostly guide lines for effective work performance depending on the work required.

Highly skilled and sort after people will want a more comfortable office than grunts.

I would assume you were part of the team OKing and signing the checks for such a major project. That part where you said you couldn't be bothered threw me. Usually million dollar outlays are dealt with at the highest level.

As you will know renting, refurbishing, furnishing, employing extra people like this is a multi million dollar project. Rarely dealt with by underlings. I was very used to making presentations to a CEO, MD or even a board to do the refurbishments and furnishings. Only in companies a lot bigger than Manwin did people doing my job then deal with subordinates. So I'm sure you didn't mean you couldn't be bothered.
