"Each time one of these big projects rises from the ground, how many new direct formal jobs you think are created, not to mention the in direct ones." True - but these buildings + the malls seem to go up anywhere. Isn't there a Masterplan for Santo Domingo? Has any thought been given to land use planning and transport needs + the need to zone this type of development into something resembling a central business district,
As for the building it is a big lump that has been built in what was once a basically residential area with no thought given to road capacity or dare I say it public transport provision.
