No. Smaller floor plates reduce a company's productivity because it increases average walking travel time between employees who thus have to be stationed on different levels. That's why office towers are usually squatter buildings, because companies really want as many employees as possible on as few levels as possible (to increase productivity and thus bang for buck).
