for what this is worth
When I found this thread, I was amazed at how many responses were squeezed into such a small time window. Obviously a white-hot topic!
Now, I saw that this is a 1,210' bldg (sans spire) with only 63 floors. After doing the math, that's a whooping 19' per floor. I can understand wanting the feeling of roominess in an office space, but, jeez, I'm picturing a bunch of giants milling about in the building.
Examples of good average floor-to-ceiling heights, I think, can be found at:
Chicago's Aon Center, 13' 8" (1,136'/83 fl.);
Toronto's First Bank Tower, 13' 7" (978'/72 fl.);
LA's US Bank Tower, 13' 11" (1,018'/73 fl.);
Empire State Bldg., 12' 3" (1,250'/102 fl.) (although, 12 feet for an office floor, but the EMS was a very well-built tower)
Something like 14' 3", I don't think would be unreasonable. That said, if you divide 14' 3" into 1,210, you get an 85-storey building.
But then again, would there be need for that much space?
