Rainier Square: A faster way to build tall
I came across this article and was amazed at how quick this tower went up.

This has a great impact on the skyline. Looks like the glass is topped out.

^ Looks almost as tall as the Columbia Center.

Gotta love Seattle's skyline.

A few days old, but here is a photo I took of it while stuck out in West Seattle.

^ Still a great shot. Gotta love this building and it's effect on the skyline. Now if we could only get a 700-800-footer in the Denny Triangle area, it would give you a three-peak skyline from that vantage point.

I always thought that Seattle needed a tower south of the Columbia Center, but I get that there are flight-based restrictions to that.

This is easily one of my favorite skyscrapers rising in the US right now, good for Seattle :yes:
Is it all office or partly residences? |
That is such a great skyline and setting.

Here is an image I took of the tower from a different angle than it is normally seen.

Cool beans.

Awesome addition to the Seattle skyline.
A question just popped up. Does Seattle have the third biggest skyline in the United States? There's NYC and Chicago at 1 and 2, but then what's next? I can't think of another skyline that's quite as big or well-developed. Maybe San Francisco? |

philly and altlanta also have a little bit more top end height than seattle, but not quite as much meat in the 500+ feet game. dallas slots into the conversation somewhere as well, about on par with seattle. boston is in there too for overall size, but lacks a tower over 250m. in terms of size, the #1 and #2 skylines in the US are extremely clear-cut. #3 becomes a much more muddled affair. though if we open up the competition to our canadian friends to the north, then toronto is now solidly in the #3 spot, and quickly gaining on chicago. |
