The Oceanwide Center in San Francisco features a foundation designed to avoid the sinking issues of nearby buildings by anchoring, through piles that run up to 270–300 feet deep, into the dense Franciscan formation bedrock.

Given the substantial base foundation’s size and width, it is technically feasible to increase the height structurally. However, the site is constrained by a zoning height limit of 850 feet. A new design could potentially reach a slightly higher height, but the increase would be almost imperceptible unless zoning regulations are amended. Regardless of the final design dimensions, I remain optimistic with Gensler as architects.
