Baskerville Building

Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, as its residents know well.

a.) Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, as its residents know well.

b.) Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, its residents know well that the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage.

c.) As its residents know well, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, seeing as it was built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class.

d.) As its residents know well, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage, seeing as it was built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class.

e.) Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage, as its residents know well.


Answer: E

Wondering why option D is wrong? GMAT experts? Any thoughts?

Option D is unnecessarily wordy.

The extra clause "seeing as it was" can be done without. Though both D and E might be gramatically correct, option E is the most effective as:
1. Modifier (Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class) for Baskerville building is correctly positioned
2. but a lot less square footage is correct...cannot use a lot fewer footage: Wrong quantifier
3. E is the most succinct option, is not wordy or awkward, no unnecessary clauses.

"Seeing as" is an informal construction, and I think it would be enough to eliminate D.

Wondering whether "A" is correct...Is "Square footage" countable or uncountable.

Thanks

I find D better than E because 'seeing as it was built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class.' tells the reason for less square footage and thus, intended meaning is more clear in D than in E.
