source: SF figures are approximate and are pulled from a variety of online sources. height figures are CTBUH.
all of the above are 21st century variations on the "form follows finance" theme.
chicago office tower developers do not spend more than they have to to get a solid ROI.

that philly tower uses an egregiously tall spire to get over 1,000', and salesforce SF uses a 170' tall unoccupied rooftop video screen dealie to get there.
the occupied heights for those two towers are only 876' and 901', respectively.
chicago office tower developers have not been keen on paying for those kinds of non-returning height-increasing rooftop extravagances for roughly 3 decades now.
