...small lots, and zoning authorities thought they had forestalled any skyscraper-high structure by stipulating that total floor space in new buildings could not exceed 14 times the area of the site. Transamerica outsmarted them by assembling seven parcels into a 47,000 sq.ft. lot, and Architect William Pereira devised a tapering pyramidal shape that will soar 840 ft. into the sky without violating the required standards for setbacks and floor space. Some critics do not object to the needle itself. But they fear it would set a precedent for high-rise construction in the valley that could, in time...

The scramble for sites has lifted land prices from $20 per sq. ft. five years ago to as much as $100 today, but businessmen seem undeterred.

The center is only part of Los Angeles Architect William Pereira's master plan (TIME cover, Sept. 6, 1963) to develop Irvine in an orderly way that will avoid swamping land values all around, block the spreading disarray of the ranch's municipal neighbor to the north. Centered on the University of California's new Irvine campus, for which the company shrewdly donated 1,000 acres in 1960, the plan calls for an industrial park (which already has 60 contracted occupants, including McDonnell Douglas and Xerox) and residential sectors now abuilding to combine into...
...Snorkel. Pereira's plan looks toward the construction of five new airline terminals-all underground and equipped with their own subterranean garages-at the west end of the airport. Their probable occupants will be Pan American, TWA, United, American and Continental...
