For San Antonio, Texas, I would add:

1. Court Chambers Building, 75 Livingston Street, Brooklyn. This Gothic Revival skyscraper would be a perfect pairing for San Antonio's own landmark Tower Life Building.

2. Russ Building, 235 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. Another handsome Gothic Revival tower that would match well with the city's other similarly styled building.

3. Paramount Building, 1501 Broadway, New York City. A wondrous ziggurat to partner at night with our city's own tiered wedding cake.

4. Guardian Building, 500 Griswold Street, Detroit. Flamboyant Art Deco, but still keeping in tone and scale to our city's other historic buildings.

5. The Legacy at Millenium Park, South Wabash Avenue and East Monroe Street, Chicago. With all the historicist and earth-tone masonry buildings I'm bringing in to a city already full of historicist and earth-toned masonry buildings, a little shiny contrast is in order.

If we allow towers from outside the U.S., then I would make my city handsomely modern by grabbing:
Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, Tokyo
Abeno Harukas, Osaka
Commerzbank Tower, Frankfurt am Main
Guangzhou International Finance Center, Guangzhou
HSBC Headquarters, Hong Kong
