Here was my idea (again, just an idea) for the tallest of the Transbay Towers, I took both the Sears Tower and Glass Tower and sort of combined them into one. I tried to get to an approximate color as the Glass Tower and divided it into 10 sections of 149' (45m) each, with the exception of the first section which is 150' (46m). The other difference between this tower and the Sears Tower, is that here, the top of the sections end in a triangular shape, instead of the square shape you find at Sears Tower. The Squares next to the towers (one for when facing it from south and the other for when facing it from the north) show how the sections top out when viewing it from directly above the tower itself.

Section 1: 0' (0m) to 150' (46m) ; Floors 1 to 11
Section 2: 151' (46m) to 300' (91m) ; Floors 12 to 23
Section 3: 301' (92m) to 450' (137m) ; Floors 24 to 35
Section 4: 451' (138m) to 600' (183m) ; Floors 36 to 47
Section 5: 601' (183m) to 750' (229m) ; Floors 48 to 59
Section 6: 751' (229m) to 900' (274m) ; Floors 60 to 75
Section 7: 901' (275m) to 1050' (320m) ; Floors 76 to 90
Section 8: 1051' (320m) to 1200' (366m) ; Floors 91 to 106
Section 9: 1201' (366m) to 1350' (412m) ; Floors 107 to 120
Section 10: 1351' (412m) to 1500' (457m) ; Floors 121 to 134
Structural Top: 1501' (458m) to 1525' (465m)
Northwest Antenna: 1501' (458m) to 2010' (613m)
