They have limits on building square footage but not height? Or is that a weird loophole in a height restriction?

- larubbio 3y agoI think there are limits on both. Floor area ratio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_area_ratio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_area_ratio) is how it is coded into regulations. The lot size and the height restrictions create a bounding box that the building needs to fit within.
- t3rabytes 3y agoCommon in NYC to do that to say you have the tallest building by height even if you were only approved to build X floors (your service floors don’t count) — from the couple videos I’ve watched about it over the years (see 432 Park Ave).
