Probably much bigger than your budget can handle. Biggest limitation will be how big will fit in the door. Also they might have limitations on the volume due to leakage concerns. Structurally, there should not be any problem.

Agreed, Once - back in the day - when I was living in RES, I heard a story about the top floor (of a concrete 11 story building) turning their large bathroom into a large large hot tub. After that a structural engineer did some calculations and found that they were still a few tons below a structuaral failure. Good old res hey...

I wouldn't put them side by side if you can help it, and put them against walls if possible, but the weight should be fine.

I would be checking with the high rise about it thought.
