Usually involved in the front end design, with a "typical" condition being that of a leadership role through either Schematic Design or Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The Design Engineer is usually involved in the front end design, typically taking the leadership role in the Schematic Design and Design Development, and then a monitoring role through the CD and CA phases.
The main contractor is the supervisory contractor of all construction work on a project, management of sub-contractors and vendors, etc. May be referred to as "Construction Manager," however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Main Contractor" exclusively.

Located in a zone of maximum height and density allowances in San Francisco’s Downtown Plan, 555 Mission is located to enhance the evolving mid-block open space pattern where a checkerboard arrangement of buildings has emerged. This arrangement maximizes light, air, and public open space opportunities between buildings. The shape of 555 Mission responds to neighboring structures and the Mission Street corridor by stepping back in the most visible locations, and visually emphasizing verticality and slenderness. The façade, made entirely of floor-to-ceiling glass panels accented with glass and metal fins, creates a textural layer that captures and reflects light.
The design team incorporated several green strategies into the project’s design, construction and operations. Through the use of high performance glazing and envelope design, an energy savings of up to 7.5% is expected, and as part of the building’s operating policy, a triple waste stream recycling program was established for all building tenants. It was one of the ten buildings chosen as San Francisco’s Greenest by the AIA and Mayor Gavin Newsom in 2009.
