The Ultima Tower was a hypothetical supertall skyscraper, designed by American architect Eugene Tsui in 1991. It has been envisioned to be built in San Francisco, California[1] and could accommodate up to one million people. With a total height of 3,218 metres (10,558 ft), the tower would be two miles (3.2 km) tall, and comprise 500 stories if built. It is one of the tallest buildings/man-made structures ever conceived but will not be built.[2]
