that would be great, but it'll take a lot of zoning changes.
1 prop k / section 295 limits the heights of most sites in the traditional financial district due to shadows on one or more of union square, sue bierman plaza, justin herman plaza, portsmouth square, one maritime's rooftop park, etc
2 at the moment none of the north fidi c-3 district includes the ability to increase FAR past the traditional limit of 18:1 in section 123, and
3 tons of sites actually have pretty low height limits, sometimes lower than the existing buildings and CERTAINLY too low to justify tearing down a 10-20 story tower, losing the rent for 3 years, etc.
that said, a couple 700-1400 foot towers north of market would be AMAZING.
