A tower's cost per square foot is somewhat greater than ordinary construction, particularly in concrete. We'll presume this is a concrete structure because there's a lot of vertical formwork (residential in NYC is almost always concrete). We'll go with $500 per foot. 7,500 SF × 50 floors x $500 per square foot = $187,500,000.
This is only one of many factors that goes into building a skyscraper. Cost per square foot is just the beginning. There are design considerations, site selection, material costs, labor costs, interest rates, etc. That said, you can probably build this structure for less than $200 million.
The total cost of constructing a building starts with the cost per square foot. It may be higher or lower depending on many factors such as size, location, materials, etc. But overall, buildings tend to be quite expensive. A skyscraper is no exception.
In New York City, the average cost of constructing a new construction is $362 per square foot. In 2018, an extra 3.5 percent of that expense is predicted. In terms of construction costs, San Francisco is second only to New York City. Seattle and Boston round out the top five most expensive cities.
There are two types of construction: new development and remodels. On average, new development is more expensive than remodeling projects. The reason behind this is that any improvement to an existing building can only increase its value, while a new building will always be valued at least as high as a comparable property without a structure on it.
The total cost of construction depends on many factors such as size of project, location, etc. But overall, construction in New York City is very expensive - nearly twice as expensive as other major cities in the United States.

A 50 × 50 metal structure is typically priced between $19,900 and $22,500.00, or $7.96 to $9 per square foot. Price varies depending on size of site, location, quality of materials, etc.
Metal buildings are often the most economical option for businesses looking to expand or relocate. They can be built in a matter of months instead of years under brick or wood frame construction. Also, metal buildings require very little maintenance and last for many years if taken care of properly. In fact, they usually have a life expectancy of at least 20 years.
The total cost of a 50×50 metal building will vary depending on the type of metal used, but generally ranges from $20,000 to $40,000. The price includes material costs, labor, and shipping. Size matters when it comes to pricing metal buildings because larger sizes are more expensive due to higher material costs. Location also affects the price of metal buildings; the further away from urban areas you go, the cheaper they are. Finally, quality matters too; if you want a shiny new building, that will increase the price.
These structures are designed to protect against wind, rain, snow, heat, and sunlight. They include walls, a roof, and doors on all four sides for employee access.
The average 30 x 40 metal structure costs roughly $11,000, with pricing varying based on the roof design and height. The price of a 30 x 40 metal building starts at $10,000 for a flat roof version and goes up from there.
These structures can cost more than other types of buildings because they are built to last, and also use more material. They are therefore generally larger, heavier, and more expensive to transport per square foot.
Size is important factor in determining price. Large metal buildings are more expensive than small ones of the same type. This is because bigger buildings require more steel be used in their construction and thus have higher installation costs. Larger buildings also need more interior finish materials such as wall panels and carpeting.
Building height affects price too. The higher the building, the more it costs. This is because the builder needs a strong foundation and also requires more labor-intensive work (such as installing roof supports) as the building gets taller.
Price also depends on the quality of materials used in construction. If you choose a cheaper metal building brand, it may not be as sturdy or durable as those made by top-quality manufacturers.
Finally, location matters.
In New York, the average cost of a floor is around $15 million. In other words, a 65-story skyscraper in New York may be built for $20 million per floor (on average), but a 120-story skyscraper in Shanghai can be built for the same price. At that money, you can acquire a 100-story building in Chicago. A 10-story apartment in New York has a price tag of about $300,000; a 20-story apartment in London costs about £150,000 ($220,000).
The cost of living in a skyscraper depends on what part of the world you're in. In most cities, apartments in the center are more expensive than those in the suburbs. In big cities like New York and London, apartments on the upper floors are also more expensive than in smaller towns. Finding an apartment with a good view can also make a difference.
Other factors such as location, size, and type of building can all affect how much you pay for an apartment. For example, an apartment in a luxury building in New York City will usually be more expensive than an equivalent apartment in Chicago or London. Even within the same city, there can be large differences in price depending on where you look. This is because wealthy people tend to live in tall buildings, so they can afford to pay more.
Size also matters. An apartment in a small building is likely to be cheaper than one in a large building.
