Could two skyscrapers (1000 feet) have been built instead of four?
That’s not for me to decide, I don’t have knowledge of German construction or zoning laws. That question also doesn’t make sense, as it’s clear they chose to build 4 buildings for a reason, it’s not a question of combining or separating building masses, it’s a design decision or requirement.
Special heights require special measures - a skyscraper around 100 meters high moves by up to 20 cm depending on weather/wind conditions, the Burj Khalifa even by up to 1.5 meters at a height of 828 meters. In order to stabilize the T1 at the FOUR sufficiently in this respect, a total of around 700 tons of steel will be installed at a height of 180 m on the 43rd floor over the course of the next year. This massive bracing, a so-called outrigger, is a steel truss on the T1 that is connected to the reinforced concrete to reduce such vibrations.

„ Welcome to the T1 reception hall. The lobby’s ceiling height of up to 8 meters provides plenty of light, making it a real eye-catcher with a feel-good atmosphere. The design concept of the tower facades is consistently continued in the interior, creating a prestigious space for receptions in the highest of the FOUR’s four towers.“
