The developer of the flats wants to get the maximum return on his investment so he will build as high as the planning regulations allow.He will wan t to get as many flats as he can on the area of land available.There will be a limitation on the amount of land available to the sides of the development. To use more land would not be in the developers interest. Once a certain height is built a certain amount of flexibility has to be incorporated in the construction to allow for high winds.

Any High Rise building ' Has to sway in the wind ' Otherwise it will snap and fall down. Just like a tree, if it doesn't bend, then it also will snap - and fall down.!! xx

I suppose it takes up less space. I truly hate really tall buildings. People are so selfish//who seriously needs 238795437893560987 levels on a building ?

why? has one toppled over due to high winds? do you feel not safe in such a high building? I think they make them tall becaue they are saving the ground space for other things.... like parking cars.

if they were too close you would get a privacy problem as with close together houses surely
they made them tall or couldnt call them "high rise"
