San Francisco's has a leaning tower that is sinking into the ground, and that is the Millennium Tower. Millennium Tower is located adjacent to San Francisco's Tallest Tower the Salesforce Tower. update in the description A peer-review was undertaken but only covered the structural systems, none for the geotechnical advice. A recent testimony referred to the lack of a geotech engineer on the voluntary review conducted by the developer ahead of time. At the time of construction, Millennium Tower was set to be San Francisco's Tallest Tower as well as the first skyscraper in San Francisco to be built from an in-situ concrete frame. This is due to the geology of soft clay soils this pushed design of structures in San Francisco to limit the weight, making all other highrise buildings in the area to be of a steel-framed construction. To complicate the issues seen on this tower a major excavation was built next to the completed Millennium Tower. The excavation was to build the Transbay transit centre and required the site to be dewatered. Millennium Partner( the Developer) and the TJPA (who constructed the Transbay Transit centre) reach an undisclosed settlement with the residence of Millennium Tower, it was to cover the cost any rectification work and for any losses, the residence may have suffered. This Settlement cost for San Francisco's Leaning Tower was rumoured to be in the order of $500mill.
