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.

i doubt that accounts for weather and total weight.
