I think only 5.

ESB, Sears Tower, Hancock all have 100 floors or more. Silver steins West Side tower will a little over a 100 floors. So this being the 5th one to that group.

If the original twins where around, I'd be 7, but still, quite a rare moment to have over a 100 floors, especially with ceiling heights the way they are.

This would be great for Seattle, but more importantly the US. The building isn't perfect, but it *is* a perfect location for a supertall in the skyline. Empty parking lot, next to the cities next tallest building.

Not holding breath, but there are alot of midrise buildings under construction in the city right now, so maybe it happens

Yeah, this is first Supertall tower in Seattle. We don't see a supertall building. I realize that I knows other supertall tower in Chicago, New York, Miami, Dubai, Taiwan, Singapore, KUL, and Shanghai, as well.

On the news they had a segment about the tower. They talked about wind tunnel testing. It was real quick. Sorry I can't remember which channel.

4/C - 701 4th Ave
This is from the design packet (http://web6.seattle.gov/dpd/edms/Get...Docs&id=469382) showing options that they've considered.
But they are stuck on the box shape for now it seems. Hopefully someone can talk them into bowing it some.

Okay I'm done.

But seriously you guys, what a week. Chicago blowing up the South Loop, Salesforce showing progress in San Fran, Wilshire Grand cracking the skyline in LA, and now a proposal in Seattle backed by a Miami developer...you know those Miami guys get shit done. If only they could get one of the 478237 supertall proposals in their own city out of the ground, we'd really be on fire.
Ugh! It's crazy that Miami developers are expanding & building new high
rises in other cities like Atlanta , http://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/r...-flagship.html , and now a new supertall in Seattle which looks great and Miami is constantly battling the FAA over heights!
Would be nice to see this go vertical soon!

They're negotiating with the FAA on this one too.

At the other end of Downtown, their 440' twins should be easy though.

I also prefer the 1st and 2nd design. Don't know what they're talking about but I think they compliment Columbia Center better.

I'm probably 50/50 for the first one and 2nd one. The third one isn't bad either. It's sort of like a taller version of the Cheung Center in Hong Kong. I guess the first one is probably the best complement to the Columbia Center with the curved facade and the small setbacks. Plus it would at least have some kind of personality in silhouette. But the 2nd one would have the more interesting facade, and it might be a good contrast to the Columbia Center's non-conventional shape. Overall, I'd say the 2nd design is the best.

This thing's a beast. Seattle certainly deserves it. I hope it happens.

Definitely prefer #2 then #1 in the proposals. the writing justifying the form of #3 is painful in my opinion. It's almost as if they realise the design is ugly, but are trying to convince you that it is artistic and signifies what this building represents.
