The Wells Fargo Center 140 m 100, commonly known as the Wells Fargo Center, is a 460-foot (140 m) office skyscraper with 34 floors in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. It was completed in 1998 and has been called "one of the most innovative designs of its time" by some critics. The tower was designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli and is owned by CBRE Group Inc.. It is the second-highest building in Winston-Salem behind The Franklin Centre, which stands 528 feet (160 m) high.
The Wells Fargo Center was built after the 1997 tornado that devastated parts of Winston-Salem. The building's design includes large glass walls on all sides to allow people to see into the center from outside. This helps to keep people safe by reducing incidences of crime or panic breaking out inside the building.
The tower was awarded several architectural awards when it was completed including a Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects for being the best office building in the United States. It is also recognized as one of the first environmentally friendly buildings due to its use of natural light and solar power and its recycling program.
Wells Fargo acquired the naming rights for this building but later sold them to Korean company Lotte Holdings for $10 million.

The California Street Building is located at the northeast corner of California Street and Market Street, near Civic Center. It stands on land that was once part of Rancho San Francisquito. In 1849, John Sutter built a house on this site that became known as "Sutter's Folly". After the gold rush, people began to fill San Francisco with more practical buildings. By 1865, all of Rancho San Francisquito had been sold to finance the Civil War effort. The last portion sold that year for $150,000 ($ million today).

Collins.
It was built in 1977 to house Citibank's headquarters and stands 915 feet (279 m) tall with 59 floors and 1.3 million square feet (120,000 m2) of office space.

The building has been called "a skyscraper within a skyscraper" because of its size within the city center.
The Citibank Building is located at 200 West 42nd Street in Manhattan. It was designed by Richard Rogers and Peter Cook with Alfred H. Moses as architect of record. The structural engineer was Arthur Erickson.
On April 4, 1976, the first floor opened with just 12,500 square feet (1200 m2) of space. By January 1977, all 59 floors were occupied. The building was sold to Property Development & Management in 1997 for $375 million and was valued at about $1 billion in 2006. Citigroup now occupies half of the building.
In addition to its offices, the building contains a museum dedicated to art collector Charles Saatchi. It also hosts an annual photography exhibition called Noorderlicht ("Northern Light").
The Citibank Building is ranked number 10 on the List of World's Most Endangered Buildings. It is listed because it is considered unsightly by some people and could be demolished if a new owner decides to knock it down.
