As we wind down the current wave of construction and begin the next wave, I think these 6 buildings will have more impact on the skyline then the last wave, of course, open to debate;
Independent, 70 Rainey, 5th and West, Aloft/Element, Fairmont, Proper.
That's collectively 231 floors / 2923 feet, or avg. 38.5 floors, 487.17 feet between the big six. By this time next year, we should be getting a jaw dropping idea of how these six are going to be one of the best, if not THE best wave of construction we have seen. At some point, we will have at least 5 cranes at over 400ft at the same time downtown and one at about 350, Element, and the highest over 700'. ( I included the shorter Element because of its location on Congress.) I don't think this has ever happened before and maybe never again. I'm hoping the following wave will finally give us the signature commercial tower we've been waiting for...say around 2019 - 2020, 800 - 900 ft.
