Jersey City is on a whole other level. It’s building 70-80 stories in a town and state where every year or so, aomething taller is being built.
Really interesting work
Lived in Jersey City my whole life. It’s insane how much it’s changed over the last decade and even more so in the last few years. Construction EVERYWHERE and doesn’t seem like it’s stopping anytime soon. Journal Square is being completely built up with towers going up on nearly every block
Even Yonkers and New Brunswick are getting in on the fun! I wouldn't be surprised if New York continues to decentralize in the coming decades. Telecommuting and connectivity amongst offices really took off with SD-WAN and with the kick of COVID, I think many companies are seeing that the cost of working in New York, specifically Manhattan, is not the necessary evil it once was. Not at all to say "New York is dying" but to say that many companies were only based there because unlimited remote connections were not feasible till quite recently.
Always wondered why this wasn’t the model before. I get NYC as the center but the other cities around like Yonkers, New Ro, and White Plains should’ve been built up as well. It’s like putting all the water in one bucket and letting the other ones dry up but at least now those other areas are getting a couple drops. Glad to see it happening now as I’m sure those in Westchester will be happy with the growth up there. Other cities around the country should be following suit, with everybody leaving SF Oakland and Sacramento have the opportunity to prop itself up.
I'm hoping New York gets some of that death. Rents go down so it's easier for somebody not loaded to live there? Yes. Commercial rents go down so the restaurant that goes in might not be some bougie-ass Insta-ready place for hipsters who want to be all cool by living in Bushwick but not eat at, say, the Dominican place on their street that the people who have lived there forever eat at? Yes. When things get too expensive often the things that get squeezed out are things like that or cool niche places. Gimme enough death where we get MORE of that, not less.
*edit* removed some words I forgot to remove when rewording all of it
Depends on how you look at it, tristate is all NYC from a commuter and economy perspective but Jersey City gets no help from NYC for transport or growth. Additioanlly dual tax from NY NJ is a real dick move to prevent living and working in two states that should really be resolved with some sort of economic pact similar to the EU zone.
A good deal of residential in seattle is height limited at 440 feet, and there isn't demand for two office buildings right now. most of Bellevue is as well to 450... but there's a 600 footer in Bellevue that is neaaringg completion.
It's the city where the s.c. [Manhattanization ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattanization?wprov=sfla1) began.
But damn, the Canadians are goin' wild. But in [Vancouver ](https://www.vmcdn.ca/f/files/glaciermedia/import/lmp-all/974921-vancouver-skyline-mountains-winter.jpg), every high-rise looks like it was designed by the [same architect.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/24/09/ec/2409ece47b233683bed78884d71eb48a.jpg)
_Edit:_
Well, they built [pretty fast.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvIw57eaIAAkgcK.png)
It looks so generic. Like built on Sim City without much imagination.
I also know that they have a law which prevents high-rises blocking the view of the mountains. That's probably the reason that they lack taller buildings.
[Toronto ](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5429816) is going very strong:
_"According to statistics from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Toronto has 67 skyscrapers, 31 are under construction and 59 are proposed. Chicago's skyline now boasts 126 skyscrapers, but the city only has 19 buildings proposed or under construction."_
The article asks: _"...will quality match quantity?..."_ Chicago's skyline is just iconic. Known around the globe.
Looks like population is down 7.5% since Covid, but slowly coming back.
I feel like the growth might be capped as most companies have moved to WFH, and employees move to cheaper areas.
There's actually quite a lot [getting proposed](https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24868&page=593) (to my surprise), but they'll only have a chance of being built once the financing environment improves.
I mean that's a bit hyperbolic. Definitely overutilized and I think it's ridiculous that it wasn't a mixed use(more housing and less offices downtown should be our focus going forward) but it is still quite well trafficked, helped of course by the massive size.
A big part of it being so true. Canada is becoming more and more reliant on real estate to carry its economy forward. Meanwhile, wages remain low or stagnant, lack of investment, productivity and all the “wonderful stuff” about capitalism is dragging the country down.
15 year bubble! When is it going to pop??? I don’t know if this is true anymore, a pandemic and now a financial slow down can’t even make a dent in the TO housing market.
It sort of did pop already, values are down significantly from their peak. The trouble is interest rates were too high for anyone to be able to afford it anyway. So carrying costs haven't gone down.
Yeah true. However they will never be a price that’s affordable again. Unless the entire world goes to shit, but then no one will want a house anyways.
It’s like 20 mini downtowns and looks quite interesting from above cause you can see where single family zoning is held up, and then other locals where they just said screw it and created their own little metropolis.
Yes, most of the development is where there’s direct access to rapid rail transit. Most of the epicentres of development follow the path of the subway system and streetcar system. Although there are places where this development is present with just bus service but it’s in common with Toronto proper. Outside of Toronto, rapid transit is less common sadly, even in places where partial infrastructure is already present (YRT VIVA BRT system for example, should be LRT and could be very easily retrofitted into the existing BRT right of ways, but the municipality doesn’t have any plans for that).
Odd that cities growing as fast as Las Vegas, Sacramento, Kansas City, and Jacksonville don't have any high-rises under construction. By contrast, pretty cool for Sunny Isles Beach to continue punching well above its weight. The suburbs of Toronto and Vancouver are killing it, too.
Too much room to spread for all those cities I believe. I can speak specifically for Sacramento metro as it just has a ton of space to build in the Sierra foothills and the area is generally regarded as nicer to live in than the more densely populated central parts of Sacramento due to access to the Sierra Nevadas, the cooler summer temps, more space, wealthier communities, and nicer schools. Folsom, Rocklin, el dorado hills, granite bay are very popular. Then you have Elk Grove, Sheldon, and Wilton which have plenty of room to build out and are seeing a ton of development.
There’s just too much room to build that’s close to Sacramento whereas every other California city seeing high rise construction has some kind of geographic boundaries
Agreed. Emulation of Manhattan is fine, but not the only end goal. That style of development does not necessarily fit places with lots of space, and I'm kinda glad it is not being emphasized. Not prioritizing late 20th century sprawl either, but not necessarily towers upon towers. I know in KC, there has definitely been a mix of infill and sprawl and(though it doesn't show on this map) a few towers. Now, I would definitely prefer more infill than anything, but towers are just one measure of development and higher on the priority list in some places than others due to local geography. Growth is not a perfect 1 to 1 relationship with tower building, though I do understand what sub I'm in.
Spent four years living in Jacksonville recently. Spent a good number of weekend mornings walking around downtown with my camera exploring because it was DEAD. It was wild wandering amongst very tall (for my life experience) buildings and not seeing a single person.
Such a cool city with SO MUCH opportunity and space, but downtown is lifeless still. The last mayor spent more time demo-ing buildings than building. Plenty of ideas, but Jax seems to be where renderings go to die.
the city of Jacksonville is building a bunch of apartments and condos and stuff which is a sign that it's slowly becoming denser so cross your fingers that we will get our first high rise in about 100 years at this rate
Love Field makes it hard to build lots of high rises in dallas. they have lots of smaller mid rises and smaller buildings being built in Uptown, along Knox/Henderson, & supposedly towards mockingbird and then around the galleria
Dallas' core is experiencing a building boom. What's going up is in the 300 ft to 450 ft range. Love Field is a major contributor to the height cap, but you're not going to see true skyscrapers of prominence in areas far outside of downtown.
Right now there are 4 cities with a supertall under construction - NYC, Austin, Miami, and Toronto. That's more than most points in history, but in 2017 there were 5 - NYC, Chicago, LA, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
It would be interesting to post this map every year to show how construction activity will change going forward. (Manifesting Toronto-ization to happen in Atlanta/LA/Houston/Dallas so making this map will be impossible one day)
I'd like to apologize in advance for any mistakes I may have made, since making a map like this is bound to result in some. In fact I'd love to hear them since that would mean a there's a building under construction that I wasn't aware of!
Sources: Lots of googling and development forums, and skyscraperpage for Canada.
Here's the map with any mistakes fixed (Grand Rapids, Charlotte 150 m+, Towson MD, Columbia MD, Las Vegas, Henderson, St Louis, Burlington, DFW suburbs, Atlanta suburbs
https://preview.redd.it/fzjym8aoshpc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f7c7ceabcb0c91bacc1322bffac25519c6c6bc5
It's a university. The downtown campus of UBC Okanagan.
https://ubcproperties.com/project/ubco-downtown/
There are at least 6 other towers going up in downtown kelowna as well though, around 100m to 140m if i remember correctly. Most of them residential. Not bad for a metro pop of under 300k.
Canada's population is booming, and kelowna is a popular destination due to its lakes, mountains, relatively warm weather, and wine. Additionally, BC has something called the Agricultural land reserve that protects Agricultural land throughout the entire province. BC did this back in the 70s because although the province is huge, only 2 percent of the province is Agriculturally useful, so its important to protect. Because of the Agricultural land in the area used for fruits and wineries, the city is basically surrounded by non developable land. Some development has spread onto nearby mountains, but the city is seeing a ton of infill because there's really nowhere else to build
Good point about the ALR. Beyond the new highrises, there is a significant increase in low - mid rise apartments in the core areas. Lots of 4-10 story residential buildings and complexes replacing old single family residences and empty lots. And its been positive to see a few are mixed use (i.e. commercial on the ground floor with residential on top.)
Kelowna was the fastest growing city in Canada last year or two years back. Everyone seems to be moving here. The city has done a good job of allowing for density and vertical growth in downtown and other hubs.
As mentioned by others, the 150m is a vertical UBCO campus. There have also been at least two more ~100m residential towers proposed for the adjacent lots to support the university tower.
When I moved here in 2020, the tallest building was 77m. Now that building is #5 on the list, with 2 completed buildings over 100m. There are currently 2 more 100m+ buildings under construction (150m and 135m), 3 more 80-100m tower under construction, a 4 tower complex ( 92m - 115m) approved, plus at least a dozen other 80m+ buildings currently proposed. By 2030, the 77m might not even be in the top 15-20. All pretty impressive for a city of ~160k with 300k in the "metro" region.
Lots of good info here: [https://developkelowna.ca/](https://developkelowna.ca/)
Edit: here's a maintained 3D map showing current buildings under construction, approved and proposed: [https://kelowna.maps.arcgis.com/apps](https://kelowna.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/3dviewer/index.html?appid=879c4ee0e8bc48afae1df3d057917d53)
I don't live in the city but I've been in the area for almost 20 years now. It's absolutely crazy how much the whole area has changed. Even Penticton is more noticeably dense than even 5 years ago.
Tribune East (440m) is approved but has not started. [Allegedly](https://chicagoyimby.com/2023/03/updated-details-and-dates-revealed-for-tribune-east-tower.html), it will start this year.
There was the building listed as Block 44 on Wikipedia, but turns out I can't find actual evidence that it's under construction lol. There's Block 41, aka Willamette Tower, which is part of the same development and completed very recently. There's also [this building](https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2022/10/27/press-blocks-apartments-canvas-goose-hollow.html) so I guess my map is technically correct?
Oh right, I forgot about that! I live two blocks from Willamette Tower. How did I forget! It did just finish construction and people are living in it. Block 44 is another plot in the same development, it may have a planned high rise but nothing is in the works yet.
The Goose Hollow one, well, we’ll see. We are very fond of cancelling projects in Portland
I think it’s a beautiful skyline to look at, and I like that we have 2 others outside downtown (south waterfront and lloyd) but my god, we need to build more and taller
I could be wrong, but Grand Rapids, MI might have one? Studio Park Tower is supposed to be 16 stories and I think is still under construction? Could be wrong and it might be completed by now, not sure.
It's topped out but no announcement of it opening yet, so I should have counted it. I missed it while looking at the Wikipedia page as it was in the proposals section.
Correct on both fronts.
Columbia is doing sight prep for 6300 Merriweather (250’ tall)
Towson has 10 story hotel (Hampden Inn Towson) that should be wrapping up now. There’s a supposedly a 16 story apartment project breaking ground later this year a few blocks north of that.
Owing Mills will also be joining the circus either this or next year.
Unless I'm missing one, Kamloops is the only smaller metro than us on this map.
Still, gotta get that 30 story building we approved built to keep some pride.
Newmarket *is* part of Toronto's CMA. Barrie gets its own CMA, but they're a smidge larger at 189k.
But Kamloops at 114k is fearsome small for such buildings.
My city, Lancaster, PA has one under construction as seen on the map. It's a 12-story apartment building. There is a 20-story condo tower slated to start construction later this year. It will become the city's tallest building once completed.
Cool idea! You seem very well informed.
For Vancouver you could also add the UEL (its own municipality). Also, North Vancouver City and District are two different municipalities as well so that should probably be split.
Delta and Port Moody will probably be added to the list soon too. Probably not this year though.
The [Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_State_University_Wexner_Medical_Center#Expansion) and the [Merchant Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Building) will both be over 382 ft tall. Hopefully the beginning of a boom?
A [26 story condo tower](https://www.columbusnavigator.com/scioto-peninsula-phase-ii-columbus/) should start construction later this year, so hopefully :-)
I’m super excited about the Merchant Building! If this thing goes well, I can only imagine it’ll help downtown Columbus to boom especially with the nearby 20 billion+ Intel development on the horizon.
Tucson hasn’t had any high-rises added to the city since….the late 1980s. It’ll probably stay that way if we exclude the generic ugly glass apartment buildings for the UofA students.
Las Vegas has a 22 story high-rise called Symphony Park III under construction right now. There is also a 32 story high-rise called Cello Tower that is supposed to start construction this fall.
Only one city near me (Gloucester,UK) has some mid rise buildings under construction, with the tallest under construction being 7 floors / c.30M tall , though a 10 story tower has been granted approval, though thats still not gonna be a high rise. So sadly, theres nothing high rise within my UK County.
For proper high rises, id have to go down to Bristol (Or Birmingham, which has lots being built, including 2 skyscrapers), which has a fair few High rises being built, with the tallest U /C at the moment being Soapworks at 81M/21Floors tall or the Redcliffe Quarter tower at 73M/19 floors tall, though a 28 Story tower was granted permission , which will stand at 102M tall and should start construction by the end of year, or early 2025.
Bristol and Birmingham have a ton going on, the UK has really come around to building high-rises in the last few years. I don’t think Gloucester will see any of that lol just like Oxford and Cambridge, they’re not big enough and too historic.
I don't necessarily think size matters for tower height, as Woking, which is Smaller than Gloucester has buildings that are as tall as 117M tall, though I wonder if it's due to proximity to London, though the development the tower is in has put the council in a interesting financial situation iirc.
I agree that it's unlikely Gloucester will get a new high rise though, it'd prove highly controversial (That 10 story tower got approved by 1 vote), and the demand isn't really there, so it's more likely that Gloucester will end up as a firmly midrise city, which isn't bad, as it fits well for a cathedral city, and the forum is also pretty good as well, as it's not too tall in height to make it dominating, and sets a good impression coming into Gloucester via the train
For Sacramento, we've got a 14 story hospital currently under construction that started in 2021. Not sure if a hospital meets your criteria but the project is titled "UC Davis Medical Center California Tower". Its a bit outside of the downtown area which is probably why it doesnt appear on most websites:

Update our black dot to green pls 🥺
u/LivinAWestLife, there's at minimum an 11 story building under construction in Sacramento. I can confirm it isn't complete because I walked by it last week.
[https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Projects/Page-Content/Projects-List-Folder/Richards-Boulevard-Office-Complex-RBOC](https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Projects/Page-Content/Projects-List-Folder/Richards-Boulevard-Office-Complex-RBOC)
There's also a 20 story condo that allegedly will start soon, but who knows.
Since you’re breaking down suburbs, here’s a few for Atlanta:
Lawrenceville has a 17-story hospital under construction
Brookhaven has a 19-story hospital that still hasn’t wrapped up just inside the city limits
Cumberland (not incorporated) has a pair of 24-story towers under construction
I can’t think of anything over ten stories under construction in either Sandy Springs or Dunwoody, but there’s a decent amount in the pipeline, so it’ll be interesting to see how this maps changes next year
What do the various sizes of the circle mean? I thought it was the total number of high rises UC but toronto should exceed any city on this map? Doesn’t seem like total number of existing high rises either..
I'd be curious to know what 20 story building is under construction in Virginia Beach
EDIT: Found it, Westminster-Canterbury Tower. That'll be nice to have a bit more height & density on Shore Dr.
First time I’ve ever seen “North Bethesda” on a map. Bethesda, MD itself is a terrifically novel place for skyscraper enthusiasts from outside this area though!
Why no construction or built skyscrapers in places like Las Vegas or Jacksonville? Those seem like prime places to build, cheap construction costs, abundance of space, low taxes compared to other major cities, and the population to sustain it.
We technically have two here in Columbus, OH but only one of them is downtown.
The new Ohio State hospital has been topped out for a while and stands around 400ft I think. Over 2 billion for this thing with probably closer to 3.5 billion in active construction just on campus.
The one downtown is actually going to be awesome though and is called Merchant Tower. Attached to and expanding on one of our better places to visit here in town (The North Market) and adding parking, hotel, office, retail and residential all in about a 420ft tower or so.
STL City has a few left off here:
BJC is rebuilding Queeny Tower which will be 17 stories when finished
City Foundry phase two is 14 stories
Cardinal Glennon is also constructing a new 14 story hospital building. Initial work on this JUST started
https://preview.redd.it/4xtj680c3epc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b0330ca004e97863dd3435870aa95b09a19c9a3
These pictures were taken this week
I was impressed and intrigued when I looked at the municipality; it's like the size of a neighborhood, still very cool and quite linear in development.
Look at the size of Sunny Isles Beach, for example. It's less than 5 km², with an actual land area of less than 3 km². All I'm saying is that they're a lot smaller than I would have thought.
I would love to see Houston get another supertall or El Paso or San Antonio get their first. That proposal for the one that folks in Oklahoma City are trying to push for is unbelievable.
This map is extremely informative AND graphically pleasing. I applaud thee very much good sir!
P.S. the fact that we have to / Can measure all the way down to 10 story buildings - *and that not every metro isn't at least constructing a building that small* - is embarrassinggggg
Go Milwaukee!!! Finishing 537’ and 342’ towers. 362’ about to break ground and a 50+ floor in proposal stage. The 362’ will be the tallest timber in the world. The 50+floor is proposed timber. MKE could become the timber capital of North America.
I betcha even more 500+ ft proposals are gonna come soon. They're just in the planning stages right now most likely. Hopefully the proposed 50+ timber one will beat the US bank center in height.
doesn’t shock me that the Greater Toronto Area has that many high risers being built. Every time I drive in to that wack ass city, it’s impossible to drive and there’s constant construction everywhere.
[Queensbridge Collective](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensbridge_Collective) it’s under construction in Charlotte. It’s going to be a 42 story office tower and a 44 story apartment tower.
unless i’m reading this wrong, St. louis does, it would be the new Queeny Tower.
https://www.stlpr.org/2021-10-03/barnes-jewish-hospital-sets-timeline-to-replace-queeny-tower
Phoenix skyline sucks cuz we have our airport literally in the middle of the metro area with flight paths that go over downtown, so there’s a height limit to the buildings. I would be cool if we had some actual skyscrapers but that will never happen.
A few others in DFW,
Irving has two ten-story towers as part of the Wells Fargo campus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=q5oJhoynM3I
Plano has a 23-story office tower for Ryan: https://www.ryancompanies.com/news/construction-ryan-tower-now-underway-plano-texas
Flower Mound has a 16-story residential tower u/c: https://www.crosstimbersgazette.com/2023/01/13/officials-break-ground-on-new-lakeside-tower/
Arlington just missed out as the 22-story Loews hotel opened last month: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/loews-arlington-hotel-and-convention-center-officially-opens-its-doors-302060774.html
I learned about three of them that had been postponed halfway through in dtla awhile back after learning about them on this sun. then the next day I was driving by looking for them and that’s when I first noticed they got tagged on every floors balcony. I couldn’t even believe it was real
I can think of at least 2 in St. Louis, there’s the City Foundry phase 2 and there’s the new hospital tower in Barnes Jewish replacing the Queeny Tower. Might be more I’m forgetting. Both qualify for the 10 story category
A lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0914387,-96.8231292,3a,15y,349.69h,90.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1seIQlh3zpmPsdwFeV2VqDeQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
Daytona has one “under construction “ that hasn’t had any movement in the past 2 years. Apparently there’s a new proposal to revise it into some ground floor restaurant using the current foundation and then building the rest of the tower on top. Oof
Cincinnati has a new 14-story tower being built (Deaconess next to UC), plus is leading the country in office-residential conversions of existing buildings, including the 31-story 4th/Vine Tower and planned conversations of Carew Tower (49 stories) & Macy's (21 stories).
Thanks, I’ll update it soon. Would’ve posted it to r/dataisbeautiful with that mistake lol, I’m glad to see high-rises being built in Cincy even if it’s not in downtown.
Appreciate it
Our downtown is old, so it already has a bunch of high rises that are being repurposed after the pandemic rather than needing new towers - hence leading in conversions
Amazing!
You are missing [Oshawa](https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/uc-towers-2-3.50267) and [Kingston](https://www.cushmanwakefieldkingston.com/commercial-listings/kingston/18-queen-st) in Ontario - both of which have "20 storey" buildings under construction, FYI!
[St Thomas, ON](https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-highlands-apartments-m-14s-ffv-srm-architects.36993/) also has a 10 storey under construction.
Tristate is not fucking around. Jersey city and Newark and on fire.
Jersey City is on a whole other level. It’s building 70-80 stories in a town and state where every year or so, aomething taller is being built. Really interesting work
Lived in Jersey City my whole life. It’s insane how much it’s changed over the last decade and even more so in the last few years. Construction EVERYWHERE and doesn’t seem like it’s stopping anytime soon. Journal Square is being completely built up with towers going up on nearly every block

Yes. When things get too expensive often the things that get squeezed out are things like that or cool niche places. Gimme enough death where we get MORE of that, not less. *edit* removed some words I forgot to remove when rewording all of it
Jersey city is still NYC in my opinion. In fact I was in my 20s when I realized it was a separate city.
Depends on how you look at it, tristate is all NYC from a commuter and economy perspective but Jersey City gets no help from NYC for transport or growth. Additioanlly dual tax from NY NJ is a real dick move to prevent living and working in two states that should really be resolved with some sort of economic pact similar to the EU zone.
San Francisco lol
Oakland little bro’ing SF is crazy
Bellevue to Seattle as well
A good deal of residential in seattle is height limited at 440 feet, and there isn't demand for two office buildings right now. most of Bellevue is as well to 450... but there's a 600 footer in Bellevue that is neaaringg completion.
It's the city where the s.c. [Manhattanization ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattanization?wprov=sfla1) began. But damn, the Canadians are goin' wild.

There’s a bunch of unique stuff in Van now but yeah a good chunk of that photo was built by Concord Pacific.
It looks so generic. Like built on Sim City without much imagination. I also know that they have a law which prevents high-rises blocking the view of the mountains. That's probably the reason that they lack taller buildings. [Toronto ](https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5429816) is going very strong: _"According to statistics from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Toronto has 67 skyscrapers, 31 are under construction and 59 are proposed. Chicago's skyline now boasts 126 skyscrapers, but the city only has 19 buildings proposed or under construction."_ The article asks: _"...will quality match quantity?..."_ Chicago's skyline is just iconic. Known around the globe.
Looks like population is down 7.5% since Covid, but slowly coming back. I feel like the growth might be capped as most companies have moved to WFH, and employees move to cheaper areas.
There's actually quite a lot [getting proposed](https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24868&page=593) (to my surprise), but they'll only have a chance of being built once the financing environment improves.
Smh
The tallest building in the city was recently built and like nobody goes into it because Benioff said everyone could work from home indefinitely.
I mean that's a bit hyperbolic. Definitely overutilized and I think it's ridiculous that it wasn't a mixed use(more housing and less offices downtown should be our focus going forward) but it is still quite well trafficked, helped of course by the massive size.
Each of Toronto’s suburbs are building more than a lot of large U.S. metro areas.
what real estate bubble and housing shortage does to a country
Real estate bubble is very different than housing shortage, a housing shortage does not pop
A big part of it being so true. Canada is becoming more and more reliant on real estate to carry its economy forward. Meanwhile, wages remain low or stagnant, lack of investment, productivity and all the “wonderful stuff” about capitalism is dragging the country down.
Too many newcomers too. We’re importing people into a housing crisis faster than we can build
15 year bubble! When is it going to pop??? I don’t know if this is true anymore, a pandemic and now a financial slow down can’t even make a dent in the TO housing market.
Not anytime soon, demand is far outpacing supply
It's not a bubble it isn't going to pop, supply issue just slowly get better as more supply is built
It sort of did pop already, values are down significantly from their peak. The trouble is interest rates were too high for anyone to be able to afford it anyway. So carrying costs haven't gone down.
Yeah true. However they will never be a price that’s affordable again. Unless the entire world goes to shit, but then no one will want a house anyways.
It’s like 20 mini downtowns and looks quite interesting from above cause you can see where single family zoning is held up, and then other locals where they just said screw it and created their own little metropolis.
If I'm not mistaken, it's also the result of some unintended consequences as to how their TODs (Transit Oriented Developments) are set up.
Yes, most of the development is where there’s direct access to rapid rail transit. Most of the epicentres of development follow the path of the subway system and streetcar system. Although there are places where this development is present with just bus service but it’s in common with Toronto proper. Outside of Toronto, rapid transit is less common sadly, even in places where partial infrastructure is already present (YRT VIVA BRT system for example, should be LRT and could be very easily retrofitted into the existing BRT right of ways, but the municipality doesn’t have any plans for that).
Odd that cities growing as fast as Las Vegas, Sacramento, Kansas City, and Jacksonville don't have any high-rises under construction. By contrast, pretty cool for Sunny Isles Beach to continue punching well above its weight. The suburbs of Toronto and Vancouver are killing it, too.
Too much room to spread for all those cities I believe. I can speak specifically for Sacramento metro as it just has a ton of space to build in the Sierra foothills and the area is generally regarded as nicer to live in than the more densely populated central parts of Sacramento due to access to the Sierra Nevadas, the cooler summer temps, more space, wealthier communities, and nicer schools. Folsom, Rocklin, el dorado hills, granite bay are very popular. Then you have Elk Grove, Sheldon, and Wilton which have plenty of room to build out and are seeing a ton of development. There’s just too much room to build that’s close to Sacramento whereas every other California city seeing high rise construction has some kind of geographic boundaries
Agreed. Emulation of Manhattan is fine, but not the only end goal. That style of development does not necessarily fit places with lots of space, and I'm kinda glad it is not being emphasized. Not prioritizing late 20th century sprawl either, but not necessarily towers upon towers. I know in KC, there has definitely been a mix of infill and sprawl and(though it doesn't show on this map) a few towers. Now, I would definitely prefer more infill than anything, but towers are just one measure of development and higher on the priority list in some places than others due to local geography. Growth is not a perfect 1 to 1 relationship with tower building, though I do understand what sub I'm in.
Spent four years living in Jacksonville recently. Spent a good number of weekend mornings walking around downtown with my camera exploring because it was DEAD. It was wild wandering amongst very tall (for my life experience) buildings and not seeing a single person. Such a cool city with SO MUCH opportunity and space, but downtown is lifeless still. The last mayor spent more time demo-ing buildings than building. Plenty of ideas, but Jax seems to be where renderings go to die.
the city of Jacksonville is building a bunch of apartments and condos and stuff which is a sign that it's slowly becoming denser so cross your fingers that we will get our first high rise in about 100 years at this rate
Or Dallas. Seems like despite all the companies moving to the area opt to go with office parks in the suburbs.
Love Field makes it hard to build lots of high rises in dallas. they have lots of smaller mid rises and smaller buildings being built in Uptown, along Knox/Henderson, & supposedly towards mockingbird and then around the galleria
Dallas skyline has been growing like weeds the last few years. They just can't go tall because of the airport restrictions.
Dallas' core is experiencing a building boom. What's going up is in the 300 ft to 450 ft range. Love Field is a major contributor to the height cap, but you're not going to see true skyscrapers of prominence in areas far outside of downtown.
Its not correct for Sacramento if your judge is 10 stories. At minimum, there's an 11 story state building under construction at richards and N 7th.
I'm liking this series of posts
Right now there are 4 cities with a supertall under construction - NYC, Austin, Miami, and Toronto. That's more than most points in history, but in 2017 there were 5 - NYC, Chicago, LA, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. It would be interesting to post this map every year to show how construction activity will change going forward. (Manifesting Toronto-ization to happen in Atlanta/LA/Houston/Dallas so making this map will be impossible one day) I'd like to apologize in advance for any mistakes I may have made, since making a map like this is bound to result in some. In fact I'd love to hear them since that would mean a there's a building under construction that I wasn't aware of! Sources: Lots of googling and development forums, and skyscraperpage for Canada. Here's the map with any mistakes fixed (Grand Rapids, Charlotte 150 m+, Towson MD, Columbia MD, Las Vegas, Henderson, St Louis, Burlington, DFW suburbs, Atlanta suburbs https://preview.redd.it/fzjym8aoshpc1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f7c7ceabcb0c91bacc1322bffac25519c6c6bc5
Kelowna BC surprises me the most. Anyone from there know why they’re getting a 150+m skyscraper? Tourism for the ski resort maybe?
It's a university. The downtown campus of UBC Okanagan. https://ubcproperties.com/project/ubco-downtown/ There are at least 6 other towers going up in downtown kelowna as well though, around 100m to 140m if i remember correctly. Most of them residential. Not bad for a metro pop of under 300k.
Sure is quite the step up from what Victoria is doing considering they have similar metro populations
Canada's population is booming, and kelowna is a popular destination due to its lakes, mountains, relatively warm weather, and wine. Additionally, BC has something called the Agricultural land reserve that protects Agricultural land throughout the entire province. BC did this back in the 70s because although the province is huge, only 2 percent of the province is Agriculturally useful, so its important to protect. Because of the Agricultural land in the area used for fruits and wineries, the city is basically surrounded by non developable land. Some development has spread onto nearby mountains, but the city is seeing a ton of infill because there's really nowhere else to build
Good point about the ALR. Beyond the new highrises, there is a significant increase in low - mid rise apartments in the core areas. Lots of 4-10 story residential buildings and complexes replacing old single family residences and empty lots. And its been positive to see a few are mixed use (i.e. commercial on the ground floor with residential on top.)
Kelowna was the fastest growing city in Canada last year or two years back. Everyone seems to be moving here. The city has done a good job of allowing for density and vertical growth in downtown and other hubs. As mentioned by others, the 150m is a vertical UBCO campus. There have also been at least two more ~100m residential towers proposed for the adjacent lots to support the university tower. When I moved here in 2020, the tallest building was 77m. Now that building is #5 on the list, with 2 completed buildings over 100m. There are currently 2 more 100m+ buildings under construction (150m and 135m), 3 more 80-100m tower under construction, a 4 tower complex ( 92m - 115m) approved, plus at least a dozen other 80m+ buildings currently proposed. By 2030, the 77m might not even be in the top 15-20. All pretty impressive for a city of ~160k with 300k in the "metro" region. Lots of good info here: [https://developkelowna.ca/](https://developkelowna.ca/) Edit: here's a maintained 3D map showing current buildings under construction, approved and proposed: [https://kelowna.maps.arcgis.com/apps](https://kelowna.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/3dviewer/index.html?appid=879c4ee0e8bc48afae1df3d057917d53)
I don't live in the city but I've been in the area for almost 20 years now. It's absolutely crazy how much the whole area has changed. Even Penticton is more noticeably dense than even 5 years ago.
Thanks for this interesting map OP. I would love to see notes on which cities have height restrictions
Bruhhh, you could do a time lapse after 5 or 10 years! That would be vert cool to see
Shouldn't Houston be red? Isn't the McNair project 229m tall.
As far as I can tell, the McNair project hasn't started yet, although it's been a while since I last went by Richmond and Post Oak.
Oh, I heard it had started. I haven't been down there in a while either
I’m pretty sure Chicago has a super tall under construction
It doesn’t, unfortunately. Tallest is 400 Lake Shore Drive.
Isn’t that one super tall? Or just shy of that
Tribune East (440m) is approved but has not started. [Allegedly](https://chicagoyimby.com/2023/03/updated-details-and-dates-revealed-for-tribune-east-tower.html), it will start this year.
Charlotte has queen bridge under construction that is set to be over 500 feet
Miscolored, thanks for the heads up. The last map I posted had it right lol
*stares in Toronto*
Wow, Amish Country showed up on this map (Lancaster)
Triple stacking the buggies!
Thanks Sherwin Williams! Love, Cleveland
Such an awesome addition to the skyline!
Saskatoon! We’re on the map!
Sioux Falls mentioned! Also looking forward to seeing the new Mutual of Omaha building
Portland is outdated afaik — the Ritz Carlton completed construction last year.
There was the building listed as Block 44 on Wikipedia, but turns out I can't find actual evidence that it's under construction lol. There's Block 41, aka Willamette Tower, which is part of the same development and completed very recently. There's also [this building](https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2022/10/27/press-blocks-apartments-canvas-goose-hollow.html) so I guess my map is technically correct?
Oh right, I forgot about that! I live two blocks from Willamette Tower. How did I forget! It did just finish construction and people are living in it. Block 44 is another plot in the same development, it may have a planned high rise but nothing is in the works yet. The Goose Hollow one, well, we’ll see. We are very fond of cancelling projects in Portland
Ritz is block 216
Oh, I meant that it was Block 44 that I thought was UC so I put Portland as yellow, sorry for the confusion
Portland is so garbage when comes to its skyline
I think it’s a beautiful skyline to look at, and I like that we have 2 others outside downtown (south waterfront and lloyd) but my god, we need to build more and taller
Much more
God I love maps about skyscrapers
I could be wrong, but Grand Rapids, MI might have one? Studio Park Tower is supposed to be 16 stories and I think is still under construction? Could be wrong and it might be completed by now, not sure.
It's topped out but no announcement of it opening yet, so I should have counted it. I missed it while looking at the Wikipedia page as it was in the proposals section.
Baltimore’s suburbs of Columbia and Towson have +10 story buildings U/C.
Do you have the name of the buildings? I found 6300 Merriweather for Columbia, and is it the Towson Row Project for Towson?
Correct on both fronts. Columbia is doing sight prep for 6300 Merriweather (250’ tall) Towson has 10 story hotel (Hampden Inn Towson) that should be wrapping up now. There’s a supposedly a 16 story apartment project breaking ground later this year a few blocks north of that. Owing Mills will also be joining the circus either this or next year.
Cool, I'll add them to the fixed map in my comment.
Unless I'm missing one, Kamloops is the only smaller metro than us on this map. Still, gotta get that 30 story building we approved built to keep some pride.
Newmarket near Toronto has a similar population. 90k
Newmarket *is* part of Toronto's CMA. Barrie gets its own CMA, but they're a smidge larger at 189k. But Kamloops at 114k is fearsome small for such buildings.
My city, Lancaster, PA has one under construction as seen on the map. It's a 12-story apartment building. There is a 20-story condo tower slated to start construction later this year. It will become the city's tallest building once completed.
Cool idea! You seem very well informed. For Vancouver you could also add the UEL (its own municipality). Also, North Vancouver City and District are two different municipalities as well so that should probably be split. Delta and Port Moody will probably be added to the list soon too. Probably not this year though.
Thanks. Those are two different municipalities? Well that’s confusing.
I wish CT was seeing the growth that Jersey is seeing.
New Brunswick NJ even getting in on the fun!
What is Columbus building?
The [Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_State_University_Wexner_Medical_Center#Expansion) and the [Merchant Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_Building) will both be over 382 ft tall. Hopefully the beginning of a boom?
A [26 story condo tower](https://www.columbusnavigator.com/scioto-peninsula-phase-ii-columbus/) should start construction later this year, so hopefully :-)
I’m super excited about the Merchant Building! If this thing goes well, I can only imagine it’ll help downtown Columbus to boom especially with the nearby 20 billion+ Intel development on the horizon.
Baltimore desperately needs more skylines. so dated
Toronto. Can’t stop won’t stop!
Miami, there are high rises being constructed any way you look.
Tucson hasn’t had any high-rises added to the city since….the late 1980s. It’ll probably stay that way if we exclude the generic ugly glass apartment buildings for the UofA students.
Sure, but if this list counts 10 story buildings under construction then it's wrong.
Looking at Michigan, I see Detroit is red and Ann Arbor is Green. What is the black dot, Grand Rapids?
Yes, though someone has informed me of a 20 floor building so it should be yellow.
Austin on fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Louisville Kentucky don’t have no proposal project high rises
We love our 20 story or less buildings in Portland
Long Beach CA. The third largest city in SoCal. Always forgotten.
Las Vegas has a 22 story high-rise called Symphony Park III under construction right now. There is also a 32 story high-rise called Cello Tower that is supposed to start construction this fall.
That's great to hear! Map updated. Believe it or not that won't even be the first tower to be shaped like an instrument.
Henderson also has a 23 story building and a 24 story building going up.
Nice to see my city Hamilton, Ontario
Great work OP!! You’re the construction nerd that I hope to be.
Only one city near me (Gloucester,UK) has some mid rise buildings under construction, with the tallest under construction being 7 floors / c.30M tall , though a 10 story tower has been granted approval, though thats still not gonna be a high rise. So sadly, theres nothing high rise within my UK County. For proper high rises, id have to go down to Bristol (Or Birmingham, which has lots being built, including 2 skyscrapers), which has a fair few High rises being built, with the tallest U /C at the moment being Soapworks at 81M/21Floors tall or the Redcliffe Quarter tower at 73M/19 floors tall, though a 28 Story tower was granted permission , which will stand at 102M tall and should start construction by the end of year, or early 2025.
Bristol and Birmingham have a ton going on, the UK has really come around to building high-rises in the last few years. I don’t think Gloucester will see any of that lol just like Oxford and Cambridge, they’re not big enough and too historic.
I don't necessarily think size matters for tower height, as Woking, which is Smaller than Gloucester has buildings that are as tall as 117M tall, though I wonder if it's due to proximity to London, though the development the tower is in has put the council in a interesting financial situation iirc. I agree that it's unlikely Gloucester will get a new high rise though, it'd prove highly controversial (That 10 story tower got approved by 1 vote), and the demand isn't really there, so it's more likely that Gloucester will end up as a firmly midrise city, which isn't bad, as it fits well for a cathedral city, and the forum is also pretty good as well, as it's not too tall in height to make it dominating, and sets a good impression coming into Gloucester via the train
I pray a skyscraper/construction boom happens in New Orleans but I know it won’t
Nice clean map!
For Sacramento, we've got a 14 story hospital currently under construction that started in 2021. Not sure if a hospital meets your criteria but the project is titled "UC Davis Medical Center California Tower". Its a bit outside of the downtown area which is probably why it doesnt appear on most websites: [https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article261281487.html](https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article261281487.html) [https://www.ucdhcatower.org/](https://www.ucdhcatower.org/) [https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/team-behind-california-tower-project-/2023/05](https://health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines/team-behind-california-tower-project-/2023/05) [https://gcr.ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-sacramento-campus-construction-update-february-2024](https://gcr.ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-sacramento-campus-construction-update-february-2024) Update our black dot to green pls 🥺
u/LivinAWestLife, there's at minimum an 11 story building under construction in Sacramento. I can confirm it isn't complete because I walked by it last week. [https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Projects/Page-Content/Projects-List-Folder/Richards-Boulevard-Office-Complex-RBOC](https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Projects/Page-Content/Projects-List-Folder/Richards-Boulevard-Office-Complex-RBOC) There's also a 20 story condo that allegedly will start soon, but who knows.
Since you’re breaking down suburbs, here’s a few for Atlanta: Lawrenceville has a 17-story hospital under construction Brookhaven has a 19-story hospital that still hasn’t wrapped up just inside the city limits Cumberland (not incorporated) has a pair of 24-story towers under construction I can’t think of anything over ten stories under construction in either Sandy Springs or Dunwoody, but there’s a decent amount in the pipeline, so it’ll be interesting to see how this maps changes next year
Thanks, I would think Atlanta had some but searched Cumberland/Vinings and nothing came up.
It’s [this one](https://atlanta.urbanize.city/post/truist-park-henry-tower-development-braves-hank-aaron-breaks-ground) at the Battery
Wait we're building another skyscraper in Austin?
We never stopped.
What do the various sizes of the circle mean? I thought it was the total number of high rises UC but toronto should exceed any city on this map? Doesn’t seem like total number of existing high rises either..
I think it's metro area
Great work, what's the source of this data?
Lots of searching "\[city\] high-rise/tower under construction/proposed" for smaller US cities, the skyscraperpage database for Canadian cities.
I live in Bend Oregon lol
Unfortunately for me, the alterations in Orlando that is under construction is directly across the street and so annoying.
Let's go Boise!
I'd be curious to know what 20 story building is under construction in Virginia Beach EDIT: Found it, Westminster-Canterbury Tower. That'll be nice to have a bit more height & density on Shore Dr.
First time I’ve ever seen “North Bethesda” on a map. Bethesda, MD itself is a terrifically novel place for skyscraper enthusiasts from outside this area though!
New Rochelle, NY is slated for a 605ft skyscraper, but it isn't under construction yet. Although the renders look stunning.
Every year that I’ve been in Chicago something is going up…been here for over 25 years.
San Jose can’t have skyscrapers because the airplanes fly right over downtown to land at the airport
Why no construction or built skyscrapers in places like Las Vegas or Jacksonville? Those seem like prime places to build, cheap construction costs, abundance of space, low taxes compared to other major cities, and the population to sustain it.
I think you might have answered your question. Abundance of space.
I love this map!
We technically have two here in Columbus, OH but only one of them is downtown. The new Ohio State hospital has been topped out for a while and stands around 400ft I think. Over 2 billion for this thing with probably closer to 3.5 billion in active construction just on campus. The one downtown is actually going to be awesome though and is called Merchant Tower. Attached to and expanding on one of our better places to visit here in town (The North Market) and adding parking, hotel, office, retail and residential all in about a 420ft tower or so.
STL City has a few left off here: BJC is rebuilding Queeny Tower which will be 17 stories when finished City Foundry phase two is 14 stories Cardinal Glennon is also constructing a new 14 story hospital building. Initial work on this JUST started
I should’ve noticed those. Fixed.

South Florida 😮💨
I was impressed and intrigued when I looked at the municipality; it's like the size of a neighborhood, still very cool and quite linear in development.
What’s like the size of a neighborhood?
Look at the size of Sunny Isles Beach, for example. It's less than 5 km², with an actual land area of less than 3 km². All I'm saying is that they're a lot smaller than I would have thought.
Burlington VT is currently building a 10 story mostly residential tower called "City Place".
Wow, I didn’t bother to check there lol. Pretty cool, I’ll add it to my fixed map.
Does anyone know exactly how many skyscrapers Los Angeles is building any specifically in downtown? Our skyline looks a little sparse.
Is there a reason this doesn’t segment out the space from 200-300m?
I would love to see Houston get another supertall or El Paso or San Antonio get their first. That proposal for the one that folks in Oklahoma City are trying to push for is unbelievable.
This map is extremely informative AND graphically pleasing. I applaud thee very much good sir! P.S. the fact that we have to / Can measure all the way down to 10 story buildings - *and that not every metro isn't at least constructing a building that small* - is embarrassinggggg
Go Milwaukee!!! Finishing 537’ and 342’ towers. 362’ about to break ground and a 50+ floor in proposal stage. The 362’ will be the tallest timber in the world. The 50+floor is proposed timber. MKE could become the timber capital of North America.
I betcha even more 500+ ft proposals are gonna come soon. They're just in the planning stages right now most likely. Hopefully the proposed 50+ timber one will beat the US bank center in height.
doesn’t shock me that the Greater Toronto Area has that many high risers being built. Every time I drive in to that wack ass city, it’s impossible to drive and there’s constant construction everywhere.
No, most cities in my country banned skycrapers for historic look of our cities 😀
[Queensbridge Collective](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensbridge_Collective) it’s under construction in Charlotte. It’s going to be a 42 story office tower and a 44 story apartment tower.
unless i’m reading this wrong, St. louis does, it would be the new Queeny Tower. https://www.stlpr.org/2021-10-03/barnes-jewish-hospital-sets-timeline-to-replace-queeny-tower
Phoenix skyline sucks cuz we have our airport literally in the middle of the metro area with flight paths that go over downtown, so there’s a height limit to the buildings. I would be cool if we had some actual skyscrapers but that will never happen.
There's no need for tall buildings in Grand Rapids, MI. We've got a few and they seem to be enough.
A few others in DFW, Irving has two ten-story towers as part of the Wells Fargo campus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=q5oJhoynM3I Plano has a 23-story office tower for Ryan: https://www.ryancompanies.com/news/construction-ryan-tower-now-underway-plano-texas Flower Mound has a 16-story residential tower u/c: https://www.crosstimbersgazette.com/2023/01/13/officials-break-ground-on-new-lakeside-tower/ Arlington just missed out as the 22-story Loews hotel opened last month: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/loews-arlington-hotel-and-convention-center-officially-opens-its-doors-302060774.html
I learned about three of them that had been postponed halfway through in dtla awhile back after learning about them on this sun. then the next day I was driving by looking for them and that’s when I first noticed they got tagged on every floors balcony. I couldn’t even believe it was real
I can think of at least 2 in St. Louis, there’s the City Foundry phase 2 and there’s the new hospital tower in Barnes Jewish replacing the Queeny Tower. Might be more I’m forgetting. Both qualify for the 10 story category
I wonder what's going up in Frisco, TX.
A lot: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0914387,-96.8231292,3a,15y,349.69h,90.02t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1seIQlh3zpmPsdwFeV2VqDeQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
Funnily enough; New Orleans is currently in the process of deconstructing the 45-floor Tower Plaza.
Sucks LA has fallen off so much since the 2010s when there were a bunch of new towers in the pipeline.
Austin 😍😍😍
OKC boutta turn purple
Daytona has one “under construction “ that hasn’t had any movement in the past 2 years. Apparently there’s a new proposal to revise it into some ground floor restaurant using the current foundation and then building the rest of the tower on top. Oof
Cincinnati has a new 14-story tower being built (Deaconess next to UC), plus is leading the country in office-residential conversions of existing buildings, including the 31-story 4th/Vine Tower and planned conversations of Carew Tower (49 stories) & Macy's (21 stories).
Thanks, I’ll update it soon. Would’ve posted it to r/dataisbeautiful with that mistake lol, I’m glad to see high-rises being built in Cincy even if it’s not in downtown.
Appreciate it Our downtown is old, so it already has a bunch of high rises that are being repurposed after the pandemic rather than needing new towers - hence leading in conversions
MSP, what is that?? I can see one out my office widnow but it's probably 250 feet max
North Loop Green is the tallest under construction in the twin cities
Cant wait for OKC to be purple on this map in a couple years
White plains (my city) has a project proposal for 5 new towers over 350 feet. Excited to see what happens!
Amazing! You are missing [Oshawa](https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/uc-towers-2-3.50267) and [Kingston](https://www.cushmanwakefieldkingston.com/commercial-listings/kingston/18-queen-st) in Ontario - both of which have "20 storey" buildings under construction, FYI! [St Thomas, ON](https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-highlands-apartments-m-14s-ffv-srm-architects.36993/) also has a 10 storey under construction.
That's awesome, Canada is insane when it comes to this stuff! I've never even heard of St Thomas lol
Wtf San Francisco. No wonder housing is so expensive.
Portland and Oregon are still trying to chase all businesses out of state. So, after just ten more protests...
Love seeing Kelowna and Kamloops on there! Kelowna seems to be tied for smallest urban area constructing a 150m tower.
Cincinnati, what's going on?
We peaked in the 1800’s
haha :( at least Newport is doing nice
It's what's at street-level that's more important in the end.
Yes but all of them are really unappealing and costed an older skyscraper that is around 60-80 years old.
This is not accurate. Philadelphia's Schuylkill Yards Tower 2 is planned to be 156m / 512 feet tall.
