Columbus Tower, also known as the Sentinel Building, is a mixed-use building in San Francisco, California, completed in 1907. The distinctive copper-green Flatiron style structure is bounded by Columbus Avenue, Kearny Street, and Jackson Street; straddling the North Beach, Chinatown, and Financial District neighborhoods of the city. Much of the building is occupied by film studio American Zoetrope, and the ground floor houses a cafe named after the company. The Sentinel Building is listed as San Francisco Designated Landmark No. 33. (Wikipedia).
Opening this year, Shanghai Tower is a soaring symbol of China's economic future. The mixed-use tower designed by Gensler will be the tallest building in China--a vertical city defining a new form of urban life. Read more at http://bit.ly/1J3FiVC
