A 160-foot spire is seen atop the Wilshire Grand Tower building after a crane hoisted it into place early Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, in downtown Los Angeles. The 10-ton spire makes the building the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. It's now 1,099 feet high, 81 feet higher than the nearby U.S. Bank Tower, which held the tallest building record since 1989. The $1-billion hotel and office complex is scheduled to open next March.
