Encinal Tower
The Encinal Tower was a skyscraper proposed for construction in Downtown Oakland, California. The mixed-use tower was planned to rise and contain 56 floors for office and residential use. The project design consisted of a glass and X-bracing-covered cylindrical building with one side that resembles a roll of fabric unraveling. If built, the skyscraper would have been the tallest building in Oakland and third-tallest in the Bay Area after 555 California Street and the Transamerica Pyramid, both located in San Francisco. The project had undergone several design and name changes since it was first proposed in 2006. The proposal was withdrawn in 2010, and in 2012 the property sold to a developer who plans a much smaller tower.
==Description==

The site is bounded by Broadway, Franklin, 19th, and 20th streets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google Maps )〕 Several lowrise buildings and a parking lot currently inhabit the proposed building site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google Maps )〕 The developers of the project were Chengben (Peter) Wang, and Encinal; the architect is Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.〔

Its exterior skin consisted of glass and X-braces with a horizontal line passing through the center of the X.〔 The large tower was planned to stand tall with 56 floors and contain of floor space. The majority () of this space would consist of offices, would have gone to parking, and for retail space.〔 The top 22 floors of the skyscraper would have housed 220 residential units or ten units per floor.〔〔 There would have been a large, lobby housing artwork at the base of the building. The building's floorplates will average in size.〔 Wang intended to make this building a landmark for the city of Oakland.〔
At in height, the proposed skyscraper would have far surpassed the -tall Ordway Building as the tallest building in Oakland and tallest in the Bay Area outside San Francisco.〔 The building would have come in as the third-tallest in the Bay Area overall, after the -tall 555 California Street〔 and the -tall Transamerica Pyramid.〔
