Any list which puts SF ahead of NY and LA is just fine with me.

"I suspect a square function is in play (a building twice as tall reflects a four times greater importance)"

Maybe, but the Pentagon is only 7 stories, counting underground. Perhaps volume is a factor.

Transamerica Bldg. will finally get surpassed. This is what's coming for San Francisco.

What'll it say about a city if its tallest building is full of homes?


Proposed Tower Height: 1,200'
Proposed Tower Use: Commercial (1.6 million square feet; "potential for residential")
Proposed LEED Certification: Gold (possibly Platinum)
