The FAR or FSR is the building floor area of all buildings on a lot divided by the lot area.  While we could have built 14 Princess higher, we would have had to reduce the floorplate size to do so.

I think from an urban perspective this building should have been two stories higher. It's a pity that FAR regulations forbid this.
