The Paramount (apartment tower)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paramount, or 680 Mission Street at Third is a 43-story rental-apartment tower that is located in South of Market just outside of the Financial District on Mission Street in San Francisco, California.
Construction of the 420-foot (128-m) tower was completed in 2002. The St. Regis Museum Tower stands just south, across Mission Street, from the building. Currently, it is the tallest apartment tower on the West Coast of the United States, but One Rincon Hill, under construction in the same city, will take the title in 2008. It is also the tallest concrete-framed tower in San Francisco.
The Paramount is one out of several new highrise projects completed or under construction on Mission Street since 2000. Other examples include 555 Mission Street, the St. Regis Museum Tower, and 301 Mission Street, 101 Second Street, and the JP MorganChase Building.
UC Santa Cruz chancellor Denice Denton leapt to her death from the roof on 24 June 2006.
