On at least one of his towers, they just skip numbering some floors so that the numbers are higher and makes it sound more impressive.
In many US buildings they will skip the 13th floor. Some actually build the thing, and make it unusable to anyone except maintenance, but many literally label the 13th floor as the 14th floor. Superstitious nonsense.
I was at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel which gets a lot of guests from China where 4 is unlucky so they skip the 4th, 13th, and 44th floors. The building is technically 45 stories tall but the elevators go up to 56.
Yeah, I knew about that one too. Building I used to live in went 12, 14a, 14. It was dumb but at least kept the numbering mostly accurate.
As an European I had to convert this and... 10996 square feet is absolutely MASSIVE and I don't mean just for an apartment in a tower in NYC either. It's massive for a house in the countryside.
To be fair, they are talking about a triplex, as in 3 units. But still, 10,000 each (if it really was 30,000 sq/ft) is still massive.
