At those proportions, you could have 100,000 square foot floorplates at the bottom and the top. Make the slab to slab heights 20' or so and you're looking at one hundred storeys of AAA Grade office space, potentially over 6,000,000 square feet of it, right above a railroad hub to boot.
I wonder if anything so ambitious will rise in our lifetimes. |
hmm, well ya got me there. it would be interesting to replace round msg with a round tower. i guess a roundy base would fit better there than anywhere else.
however, i would hope they give more thought to an open sky station for at least part of the msg site, which would probably mean no round base for a tower.
