The tallest building in downtown San Francisco is known as the Millennium Tower. It was finished in 2008, and has hundreds of apartments in it. It's also sunk 17" since it was built as it was built on compressible soil. That's a rate of over an inch a year. I really wonder how the people living there feel after the Miami apartment building collapse. Oh, the building also leans 14 inches to the northeast. So, the building is almost a foot and a half shorter than it used to be, it's also out of plumb. Doesn't that just inspire confidence?
Wouldn't you love owning an apartment in that building? You could look down on all the shorter buildings around it and see where the building may fall and crush smaller buildings.
I ran across an article on this building a couple of years ago that listed a whole lot of issues that tenants were having in their apartments. Unfortunately I can't find that article again.
