Given the size of the building, I'd guess that an adequate instrument will set somebody back around $2.5-$3 million.
Well, yeah. And just imagine the fatigue on the steel and glass from the vibrations. They'll be replacing pieces and parts constantly.
The more I think about it, the whole idea is just a mistake. I used to work in building with an atrium and the carpet under it had to be replaced due to the roof leaking - which it did every time it rained.

Think about this: with a terrazzo floor and all-glass, that sucker will have a decay of around 12 seconds. With carpeted floor, it'll be down to 9 seconds. With padded pews, maybe 7 seconds.
No Bach. No Handel. Yeeeeessshhhhh!
