Buildings

[clarke]

What is the tallest building in your city in relation to its footprint size. Example a building is 50 stories tall and its footprint is 75 feet X 75 feet.
50 stories/5625 sq ft gives 1 floor every 112 sq ft.

That would be a really skinny building. umm... I don't think there's a skinny building in Seattle. They're all fat!! If they were taller then they would be skinnier but damn height regulations limit building height.

Sheesh....um, Bell Atlantic Tower's footprint is relatively narrow but it is elongated a bit. Come to think of it, with the possible exception of Two Liberty Place, I'd bet the ratios are pretty similar among the city's tallest buildings. Taking a stab, I'd say Bell Atlantic which is the shortest of the city's buildings over 700 feet but has the most floorspace.
