In general, you are totally right !
However, in my opinion, the first two floors can have the same price/m2
The Lower floors will have an increment of 25 – 50 $/ m2
And when the level of very good view is reached, we can increase the increment by 75 – 100
At the level of the two or three top floors, we can blow the increment to reach 200 $/ m2 depending on the location, the view, etc…

THIS. IS. MY. OPINION !
