They are. The taller buildings use anti-hurricane facades. Just think about it, in Japan they get typhoons and earthquakes and Tokyo and other major cities haven't fallen and they have huge skyscrapers. There are many other cities that I can name as example. I think that a 60 story building is great for Santo Domingo. It might surprise people, but 80 percent of the apartments in the Caney Tower are ALREADY sold. So people do want to move into these buildings.
