10% of volume is already considered for this reason. Also per capita area will include open and chase space.
The first objection that comes to my mind isn't the cost or the lack of windows for most of the apartments. It's the physical limitations to building such a heavy structure. Every floor has to bear the weight of all those above it, which means that the proposed structure would collapse unless it's built with extreme materials that simply don't exist.

This idea would work but not the way you present it. Cut the building up in 4-6 pieces to make it less tall and then put everyone in those 4-6 structures. The structures could be build next to each other, or in a grid. That would be more realistic.
I think the biggest thing that most people dont consider with this thought experiment is that they assume it would be more complex than buildings we have now, which go up incredibly quickly if the funding is there. The only reason these new and tall buildings take years, is because theyre experimental and pieces on the outside and inside need to be custom made and shaped, which costs more money and time. Plus even if every person got their own apartment, it defeats the purpose if every residence is the size of a house. The whole idea is to have it as compact as possible. The places would have to be at most, the size of a double wide single floor trailer home for single people, and then maybe double that for families, which would make it considerably smaller and simpler to build.

One little objection to estimating build time. These buildings are mostly limited by ability to build high, you can relatively easily scale on surface, but you can´t just build 2 floors of height at the same time. Also the biggest material problems aren´t concrete or steel, but the foundation-soil/rock.
Seems like pyramid shape can actually return for such big human hives. Also it would be related to social status to move higher in the pyramid building, which reflects our society a lot.

I agree with most of what you say, except for the amount of time it would take to build said cube. Because the cube is so wide, you'd be able to have a lot more people working on it at the same time which would drastically reduce the build time. Just look at how many buildings we have now that not only house everyone, but also house all the businesses. Which is another thing you didn't factor into your project. A building so massive would require space for shopping and entertainment businesses as well. Each level would require multiple theaters, grocery stores, swimming pools, parks, etc. It wouldn't be a building just for housing people, it would have to be a complete city on each floor and would double the size of the building.
The most compact version wouldn't be a cube, it would be something between a hemisphere and a sphere. It would be humungous, though.

Comparing the duration of the project with that of the Burg Khalifa and coming to conclusion that it will take 5100 years means the machinery and people involved in the process are the same as that of the Burg Khalifa, which is not correct. A project if that magnitude will mean a lot of people from all over the world will be on site to execute it. It also means, machinery and other logistics will be in abundance. If the design is perfect, a lot of different companies will be working on different aspects of the project at the same time, and the project will be completed very early. For an Eleven kilometer cube can be completed in 10 years

The maths are deffo out on the NYCube taking 5,100 years and Worldcube taking millions of years. Sure the Burj took a fair amount of time, but look at it's footprint and workable space (the ground floor has a footprint of 0.3km). The calculations you did, didn't factor in how much more simultaneous work could be getting done at the same time, esp when the Big Cube has like a footprint 400x the Burj's, so it would take closer to 400 years to make, not 4.8 million.
