You are comparing existing skyscrapers in Chicago with the ones under construction in NYC. New skyscrapers are primarily residential. The residential skyscrapers make money primarily by having many options of full floor apartments (not just the Penthouse). So 432 Park Avenue has 125 condos in 89 floors, so the footprint is just over 8000 square feet.
Beefy skyscrapers may be prettier to look at it, but when you are selling $70-$100 million condos, it isn't very helpful.
