Looks like a sequel of the previous world releases.
To me as a builder lot size is important. You can build small houses on big lots and if there is too much free space left, you can build an additional garden, playground, park, barn, or a car wash, convenience store, you name it just for decoration. On small lots you're forced to build small.
Looking at that map probably the most frustrating thing will be that a lot of available space will be wasted by shells (in this case especially in the city centre), just like San Sequoia or Copperdale. Wouldn't have hurt to have empty lots instead of shells, because all the shells are in debug/live edit and if you don't like the empty lots but also don't want to build, just place some trees and a shell and the lot is done.
Regarding a 20x15 lot it is in reality a 18x13 because you can't build on the outer tiles. And on that small area you have to stack the appartements and therefore you need a staircase which takes at least 2x6, 3x3 (for a spiral stair with the advanced stair options) of 2x6 (for elevators). With that something like 18x11 is left for living space and only if you will do it without common rooms, front yard, garden, porch, or any other form of landscaping (given that your tenants don't want to live in the basement ?).
