As a player with well over 500 hours in this game, and someone who only does real estate playthroughs, my biggest gripe is building density. The largest 2x2 office building is 247,000 sqft, while the largest 3x3 is only 286,000 sqft. Apartments have the same problem: 178,000 sqft for a 2x2 versus 193,000 sqft for a 3x3.
A 3x3 plot has 2.25x the land of a 2x2, so a 3x3 building should hold about twice the floor area. Right now it gets roughly 16% more for offices and 8% more for apartments, which makes larger lots almost pointless for real estate players.
I’m playing on the most recent beta, but this has bothered me for years.
I love this game. It’s my favorite game of all time. But if I could change one thing, it would be this.
3x3 buildings barely bigger than 2x2 by SqFtage (real estate density scaling)

We will release a new version next week addressing this issue.

@David, also discovered some restrictions to `SPACE` assignment for apartment and commercial buildings:
area = width × height
weight = floor(area × 12.5 / 10) × 10
effectiveSpace = floor(capacity × spaceModifier / 100)
effectiveSpace × weight < 92000
Can we make it so we can actually assign more effective space * weight than 92,000 or is that a hard restriction?
