I could see this amount affecting the quality of the building in two ways:

1) They are willing to shell out an obnoxiously large amount for prime location and are the willing to continue their spending spree to make the building blend architecturally.

2) After breaking the bank by purchasing the block at more than its value, the county makes the building as cheap as possible.

This will not be starchitecture, but it does have the potential to not be horrible.
