The FAR is for the full lot. In that context, 30 sounds pretty big to me. Given Grand Central lot sizes, that could easily produce 3 million square foot towers, or even bigger.

I don't think Hudson Yards has as-of-right FAR 30, and you could build supertalls all over the place in Hudson Yards.

Can you, offhand, think of a building that's significantly bigger than FAR 30 anywhere on earth?

Again, it's the lot, not the building, so most supertowers (Burj Khalifa and the like) would have a relatively low FAR.
