I'm gonna be absolutely shocked at it's eventual collapse in 20 years.
Humorously the cause probably won't even be the ugly top-heavy and asymmetrical design. The math for that is probably correct. What they're not accounting for, what they never account for, is the mounting degeneracy of our people and especially corporate class.
What brings this tower down will probably be something really stupid related to cost-cutting which is so rampant in current year, like unstable ground around the foundation, or concrete which wasn't dried properly.
As a tower built to generate tourist revenue during an economic downturn, a tower designed to showcase "the future" for cheap political points, you just know theyre gonna be going breakneck speed and cutting every corner to get this thing done on time, shiny, and under-budget, just for the revenue and to prove a point. And its going to backfire.

This. It's not "built by" an African American, just designed by one. But the same identity politics obsession that would put forward and praise such a design has surely wound its tentacles around the construction and maintenance areas too. And that obsession is just a symptom of corruption.
It's not going to collapse, the floors are hung from a central column which is more or less centered through the floors. What it will have is the same maintenance schedule as a major bridge.
And that maintenance has to be paid for, which will make rent even more ridiculous than it already is in Manhattan, and there is no lack of vacant spaces. What happens if it sits at 20% occupancy for an extended period of time? I'd wager corners get cut on maintenance.
A bridge is more difficult to arrange because of the length of the span. Each hung floor is relatively small. The support column and its subsidiaries only need to handle the flexion of a weather in a manner already common for other towers. It's not a special design in anyway, just sort of self aggrandizing and ugly.
You're optimistic with the two decade figure. Last majority pOc construction project collapsed before it was completed. And then they blamed the nearest huwyte draftsman.
But why though? It's just ugly.

i doubt that accounts for weather and total weight.

Have you seen The Towering Inferno..?
Because this is how you get The Towering Inferno… 😑
You know how they love to subvert expectations. You expect buildings not to be bigger at the top and to be symmetrical, so they they did the opposite.
