I find it incredulous to defend this POS waste of space.
Waste of space? Really, how so? This tower must have an FAR of 30+, thus maximizing use of space. You may hate the asethic quaility and massing of the building, but to call it a waste of space is just flat out wrong. I would gaurentee you that very few buildings would have an FAR higher than this one. A thinner building with the same floor area would just be taller, much taller. For example, waterview tower's FAR is also around 30.
