What about the towers proposed by Renzo Piano?? I hope SOM increases the height of its tower to 1,500 ft and the floor count to 100 + and give LA something to cry about. I'm dreaming... Ugh. Does anyone agree with me? Hopefully, those infamous SF nimbys don't come out of ground and start protesting.
I would love to see the building reach 1,500 ft but I'm pretty happy with 1200-1375 ft. I really liked how the Pelli Clarke bldg had the rooftop park, so maybe SOM will incorporate that into the design.
