Twisted 400-foot-tall tower in San Francisco's waterfront has grabbed netizens' attention

The award-winning architecture firm, Studio Gang's latest project MIRA tower, based in San Francisco, California is all set to welcome their first residents this month. The 40 story skyscraper is 400-foot tall and comprises 392 condos and townhouses, as well as penthouses, all ranging from one to three bedrooms. What's unique about this one-of-a-kind tower is its twisted look that comes from its distinct geometric design.

All About San Francisco's MIRA Tower

The modular facade of the tower's units repeats after every 11 floors to give everyone a spiralled impression of the tower. Although 40 percent of it is reserved for the residents of San Francisco only, MIRA tower's units start at a whopping $1 million. Based in the city itself, Studio Gang designed the 400-foot-high structure in the Mission Bay neighbourhood for Tishman Speyer properties.

About the interior of the skyscraper, each condo comes with some high-end amenities, which include a valet parking for around 340 cars, children's play area, a fitness centre, and also electric vehicle charging stations for all the Tesla owners. In addition to residential condos, MIRA tower also hails 10,000 square feet of area, specially dedicated to retail space on the ground level, and nearby access to the city's Salesforce Park and waterfront. While some residents have already started moving in, interested buyers can schedule a safe and socially distant tour of the floor plans on their official website.
