Emporis still has the Millenium Towers height at 625' and everything else looks updated. And Spear II is listed at 350'. Could the thread be wrong?

Here is some of his quotes:
300 Spear
height: 400' to roof (450' to structural top) / 350' to roof (400' to structural top)

The 645 ft figure has been on thi thread for the past few months. Below this article refers to the height as 645 ft

Construction of San Francisco's tallest residential building is set to begin in September.

"Towering above neighboring developments and redefining the city's skyline, the Millennium Tower at 301 Mission St. will pack 420 condos into a building extending 645 feet in the sky -- an engineering feat that also makes the building the city's fourth highest. ....................................."

I supposes the article could be wrong. But I've seen other articles there used the 645 ft figure too . I will admit, the Emporis editor for San Francisco has always been good at keeping San Fran up to date so the emporis figure could be accurate.

It's your call.

After looking at the rendering for the second Spear Tower, I changed the height. I'm still researching into the Millenium, though, and will change it when I hear back from an emporis.com editor I wrote. I'm an editor there, too, but not for San Francisco.

Here is a reply I got from Four one Five


301 mission aka the millenium tower is 625' to roof and 645' to its structural tip. it has some glassy architectual element at its roof giving it an extra 20'. as for 300 spear II, there has been some debate, but the official height is 350' to its roof. it does have an additional top for mechanical equipment, but it isn't an extra 50'.

Ok, I changed the Millenium Tower (for now), and for the 300 Spear II just added a main roof height of 350' with an estimate for the roof of 25'.
