It looks pretty accurate to me. If you hold your hand in front of your face even it looks taller than the Empire State Building.
Eye level of the tower - 4th glass band from the top - should be 5 floors lower to match the horizon line where the bay water meets the land far beyond. The perspective is otherwise incorrect as shown. There should not be two different horizon lines unless the building horizontals are tilted, or the rendering of the building was raised up 5 levels relative to the background.
All joking aside, it will be interesting to see the impact of 3 inches of rain between Friday and Sunday, if we indeed get that, on the city's many construction sites and especially on Salesforce Tower.

I was just trying to bring some humor to the forum.
I think you're missing your calling on the Seattle construction threads.

I guess you're just saying that there could be delays if the weather conditions are bad enough. Safety is a priority, and construction contracts usually permit additional time and money due to inclement weather, especially on large projects. But then, I suspect you already know that.
I took this pic from Post St. in Japan Town last Friday. I drive this every day and this thing looks like, when the cranes are placed right, a giant robot---fun to see. It's dwarfing all other buildings from this view.

If you click on "Skyscraperpage Forum" at the top of this page you will see a link on the main forum page called "Image Posting Guide" near the top, next to "Quick Ref." If you want to get there even quicker right now, click on the link below:
Can anyone guess how tall it is now? I'm thinking between 850-875 ft.
I believe it is just about to surpass the Transamerica Pyramid at 853 feet any day now. I'm still waiting for some sort of an announcement. I'm not sure if the weekend weather will cause a delay.
"The Salesforce Tower, when finished, will be the tallest building in California, and end the Transamerica Pyramid’s 44-year reign as San Francisco’s highest tower. With its rounded top, the 1,100-foot-tall tower will forever alter the city’s skyline."
Hmmm
Just make it 1100 feet and tie it with Wilshire Grand. Enough of this "tallest on west coast" nonsense. L.A. is willing to share the title. Truce? Besides, everybody knows U.S. bank/Library Tower is still the real champ (highest occupied floor, highest roof).

I say put a 150 ft spire on it. I don't understand SF's gripe with spires...they actually look pretty cool. I think it could make SF tower a lot more striking.
