But first the 30 some stories in 1801 California need to get sold before we can dare build that high dense of a tower.. (And get our 1,000,000 parking lots around downtown filled in)

actually, what is left in the illustration is only about 1,100 feet tall. the rooftop height of willisears is 1,454, and i took off the top 20 floors or approx. 300 feet.

also, if the design was more tapered vs. so blocky, it might look even better!
