Well I was not talking about the concrete base but of actually the first two floors being build out is aluminum so they can charge more. And also that modern fire suppression sietes AKA the sprinklers can only handle so much and you know super well with what time of material this places are being build adding to that the more and more people are using batteries power bikes and scooter that burns super hot and quit storing them over night inside their apartment

I thought they had a sign on it about it being M&T bank headquarters but that wasn’t up that long. I thought that was a pretty bad use of that space.

Yes apartment but look 👀 closely I believe the rules say wood frame up to 5 floors so they build the first 2 floor with aluminum studs and the rest wood so they can go higher and change more. God I love this country there are ways around everything in this place.

That's completely normal in a low rise podium building. They build a concrete podium for the 5 storeys to sit on.

The main reason that there aren't very tall wooden buildings is because of all the cities burning down in there 19th century. With modern fire suppression technology, wooden buildings are much safer.
