since when is a square irregular? 
 Area of a square A= S^2  , in meter.. so convert miles to meter. ( MKS standard units)   1/ 16 mile X  (1609 meters/1mile ) =100.56m, now A=S^2= 100.56^2= 10112m^2  
Volume = A X H 

Area we have, need height

Height=  110 stories X 4 meters = 440 m

 Volume = A X H =  10112 X 440= 44449280 m^3
