The 20-story office building looks to be putting up steel for 17, 18, and 19th floors. After the 20th floor is completed, an upper stepped back will be added on to the left side to give the roof a slated look. If you look at the rendering, this slanted roof will expose much of the roof top equipment. If this project had gone through the Sacramento Planning & Design Commission, this would have been address and hidden like on privately built high-rises. Because the State does not need to go through the Cities review, all roof top equipment and machinery will be visible from the west. About 20 years ago the State built the 25-story EPA office tower on I Street with a similar slanted roof, and if your viewing the tower from the north you can see all the equipment and machinery on top of the building. I hope the rest of the building is okay, you never really know until it's finished.
