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.
I think they should rename the this technical term Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and put it in a reference table. New technical term would be the Floor Area Reference Table (FART)
