Agreed that the tower look less out of place, and the skyline looks more balanced, with this drop in height. And I'm glad the number of units stayed the same, despite the height decrease.

The skyline is going to be extended in that direction if central SOMA is built out as planned. There are several 200'-400' towers planned for the area. There'll still be a drop between One Rincon and those shorter towers, but it will definitely look more "balanced". It'll also link up the main downtown highrise cluster with the highrise cluster in Mission Bay.
