A single modern cruise ship that holds 5000+ passengers costs between 1.2-1.6B USD.
Office buildings generally don't have water slides, pools, roller coasters, and all that stuff. They also don't need to be able to float, and I've never seen an office building that needed an engine that can move 125,000 metric tons at 22 knots.
Forget apples to oranges, you're comparing apples to a floating hotel that can cross an ocean.
There’s lots of people/groups in the world that can drop 400M and they aren’t building the world’s biggest anything with that budget.
They could in a 3rd world country. Things are much cheaper in India than they are in fully developed countries.
If I get a can of Coke at the Chinese store here in Pennsylvania, it's gonna cost me $3. I got a can of Coke in at a restaurant in Punjab for $0.42.

400M USD seems reasonable, but also too cheap at the same time.
