Wow...this seems like a very long time to me. Rule of thumb that I have always heard, if the building is concrete, is a floor a week as far as doing the structure. One ought to be able to rough in mechanical, electrical, plumbing and stud framing following the building up, and when the floors each end up enclosed, the gyspum board and other subsequent finishes can begin to go in on those floors that should now be fairly climate controlled.
The most recent high rise I worked on a budget for had 22 stories, included a very limited site, and a facadectomy as well, building had a basement, and we figured a maximum of 18 months, a month and a half of which was disassembling the existing facade to get it out of the way for demolition to take place.
Is the month per floor something that you have worked with a lot? As a Developer? Architect? Contractor?
Just curiosity on my part as this is longer than I have heard before.
