I know the top is mostly empty or with huge floors but even then ~1400' to a roof with >70 floors is not common. 1WTC is nearly that high and has like 85 real floors. Most Asian office skyscrapers of this height have ~90 floors. Manhattan west towers at 995' will have 69.

It doesn't really matter, maybe it's just because I'm a skyscraper/engineering nerd that I even care at all. It's just impressive to have a nice floor count in a building, not that I can complain or anything, it's a gorgeous ~1500 foot structure smack in midtown
