look how skinny and tall this tower is in ny. if they can build a tower like this, why cant they build it in D3 which is a bigger piece of land?

Of course, it will not be only 8 floors high.
In my example, the floor space for each storey is 5312m2 beacue I build a boxy building.
The total area you allow to build is 41423 m2, so 41423/5312 is about 8.
It is the lowest heigh for the development.
If you only use 500m2 to build a tower and you use all building bulk ratio for this building, it will be 82, 83 floors high.
Does it make sense?
Anyway, I just want to show that the building bulk ratio is too low compare with Taipei 101. (390% vs 1260%) And also the land, the land of Taipei 101 is about 3 times bigger than D3. (10662.7m2 vs 30772m2) There are limitations for D3.
So I think it is impossible to build a skyscraper that is suitable Taipei 101.
=========================================================
The building you post, the building bulk ratio posiible will be more than 4000%. The floor space for each floor is equal to the area of structure. And it has 40 floors so the building builk ratio will be 4000%. If use D3's ratio is will only 3.9 floors. It is impossible to ocuur in Taiwan.
For many Taiwanese enthusiasts, we envy many western cities can build something like a very tall building in a very small piece of land.
