There'll be a little bit more to it as well, which you can seen in this view looking in the opposite direction:

Yeah, that's what I said. There will still be a drop, but it'll look more balanced compared to now.

I think the central SOMA towers will create a contiguous skyline stretching from downtown to Mission Bay, when viewed from many angles. Of course it won't be nearly as impressive as the forest of high-rises in the Financial District and Rincon Hill, but I think it'll have an impact.
