US & Canadian cities sorted by year when the tallest building was/will be built
I was getting excited that Detroit will probably soon have a new tallest building, the Hudson Tower, which is the first time this city has had a new tallest building since 1977. Then I started wondering about other US cities and Canadian cities: when was each city's current tallest building completed? I did find this thread, but it hasn't been updated for 4 years and it also doesn't state the buildings' heights. Thus I have updated the list for US and Canadian cities whose tallest buildings are at least 500 feet, and am including their heights.
First I will sort them by the years the buildings were completed or are expected to be completed: City Year Height (ft) Toronto ON: 2022, 1005 Mississauga ON: 2022, 650 Vaughan ON: 2021, 575 Las Vegas NV: 2020, 735 Jersey City NJ: 2019, 899 Austin TX: 2019, 690 Coquitlam BC: 2019, 518 Philadelphia PA: 2018, 1122 San Francisco CA: 2018, 1070 Miami FL: 2018, 868 Edmonton AB: 2018, 823 Sunny Isles Beach FL: 2018, 659 Surrey BC: 2018, 538 Los Angeles CA: 2017, 1099 Calgary AB: 2017, 810 Burnaby BC: 2016, 614 New York NY: 2014, 1776 Oklahoma City OK: 2012, 845 Atlantic City NJ: 2012, 710 Cincinnati OH: 2011, 665 Niagara Falls ON: 2009, 564 Vancouver BC: 2008, 659 Raleigh NC: 2008, 538 Mobile AL: 2007, 745 Virginia Beach VA: 2007, 508 Hallandale Beach FL: 2006, 505 Omaha NE: 2002, 634 Nashville TN: 1994, 617 Louisville KY: 1993, 549 Atlanta GA: 1992, 1023 Charlotte NC: 1992, 871 Montreal QC: 1992, 743 Tampa FL : 1992, 579 Cleveland OH: 1991, 947 Des Moines IA: 1991, 630 San Diego CA: 1991, 500 Indianapolis IN: 1990, 811 Jacksonville FL: 1990, 617 St. Louis MO: 1989, 593 Kansas City MO: 1988, 624 Sandy Springs GA: 1988, 570 San Antonio TX: 1988, 546 Little Rock AR: 1986, 546 Seattle WA: 1985, 937 Dallas TX: 1985, 921 Denver CO: 1984, 714 Hartford CT: 1984, 535 Fort Worth TX: 1983, 567 Houston TX: 1982, 1002 Detroit MI: 1977, 727 Boston MA: 1976, 790 Tulsa OK: 1976, 667 Chicago IL: 1974, 1451 Buffalo NY: 1974, 529 Minneapolis MN: 1973, 792 Columbus OH: 1973, 629 Milwaukee WI: 1973, 601 Albany NY: 1973, 589 Baltimore MD: 1973, 529 New Orleans LA: 1972, 697 Portland OR: 1972, 546 Pittsburgh PA: 1970, 841 Next I will sort them by height: City Year Height (ft) New York NY: 2014, 1776 Chicago IL: 1974, 1451 Philadelphia PA: 2018, 1122 Los Angeles CA: 2017, 1099 San Francisco CA: 2018, 1070 Atlanta GA: 1992, 1023 Toronto ON: 2022, 1005 Houston TX: 1982, 1002 Cleveland OH: 1991, 947 Seattle WA: 1985, 937 Dallas TX: 1985, 921 Jersey City NJ: 2019, 899 Charlotte NC: 1992, 871 Miami FL: 2018, 868 Oklahoma City OK: 2012, 845 Pittsburgh PA: 1970, 841 Edmonton AB: 2018, 823 Indianapolis IN: 1990, 811 Calgary AB: 2017, 810 Minneapolis MN: 1973, 792 Boston MA: 1976, 790 Mobile AL : 2007, 745 Montreal QC: 1992, 743 Las Vegas NV: 2020, 735 Detroit MI: 1977, 727 Denver CO: 1984, 714 Atlantic City NJ: 2012, 710 New Orleans LA: 1972, 697 Austin TX: 2019, 690 Tulsa OK: 1976, 667 Cincinnati OH: 2011, 665 Sunny Isles Beach FL: 2018, 659 Vancouver BC: 2008, 659 Mississauga ON: 2022, 650 Omaha NE: 2002, 634 Des Moines IA: 1991, 630 Columbus OH: 1973, 629 Kansas City MO: 1988, 624 Jacksonville FL: 1990, 617 Burnaby BC: 2016, 614 Milwaukee WI: 1973, 601 St. Louis MO: 1989, 593 Nashville TN: 1994, 617 Albany NY: 1973, 589 Baltimore MD: 1973, 529 Tampa FL: 1992, 579 Vaughan ON: 2021, 575 Sandy Springs GA: 1988, 570 Fort Worth TX: 1983, 567 Niagara Falls ON: 2009, 564 Louisville KY: 1993, 549 Little Rock AR: 1986, 546 San Antonio TX: 1988, 546 Portland OR: 1972, 546 Surrey BC: 2018, 538 Raleigh NC: 2008, 538 Hartford CT: 1984, 535 Buffalo NY: 1974, 529 Coquitlam BC: 2019, 518 Virginia Beach VA: 2007, 508 Hallandale Beach FL: 2006, 505 San Diego CA: 1991, 500 Finally, alphabetically: City Year Height (ft) Albany NY: 1973, 589 Atlanta GA: 1992, 1023 Atlantic City NJ: 2012, 710 Austin TX: 2019, 690 Baltimore MD: 1973, 529 Boston MA: 1976, 790 Buffalo NY: 1974, 529 Burnaby BC: 2016, 614 Calgary AB: 2017, 810 Charlotte NC: 1992, 871 Chicago IL: 1974, 1451 Cincinnati OH: 2011, 665 Cleveland OH: 1991, 947 Columbus OH: 1973, 629 Coquitlam BC: 2019, 518 Dallas TX: 1985, 921 Denver CO: 1984, 714 Des Moines IA: 1991, 630 Detroit MI: 1977, 727 Edmonton AB: 2018, 823 Fort Worth TX: 1983, 567 Hallandale Beach FL: 2006, 505 Hartford CT: 1984, 535 Houston TX: 1982, 1002 Indianapolis IN: 1990, 811 Jacksonville FL: 1990, 617 Jersey City NJ: 2019, 899 Kansas City MO: 1988, 624 Las Vegas NV: 2020, 735 Little Rock AR: 1986, 546 Los Angeles CA: 2017, 1099 Louisville KY: 1993, 549 Miami FL: 2018, 868 Milwaukee WI: 1973, 601 Minneapolis MN: 1973, 792 Mississauga ON: 2022, 650 Mobile AL: 2007, 745 Montreal QC: 1992, 743 Nashville TN: 1994, 617 New Orleans LA: 1972, 697 New York NY: 2014, 1776 Niagara Falls ON: 2009, 564 Oklahoma City OK: 2012, 845 Omaha NE: 2002, 634 Philadelphia PA: 2018, 1122 Pittsburgh PA: 1970, 841 Portland OR: 1972, 546 Raleigh NC: 2008, 538 San Antonio TX: 1988, 546 San Diego CA: 1991, 500 San Francisco CA: 2018, 1070 Sandy Springs GA: 1988, 570 Seattle WA: 1985, 937 St. Louis MO: 1989, 593 Sunny Isles Beach FL: 2018, 659 Surrey BC: 2018, 538 Tampa FL : 1992, 579 Toronto ON: 2022, 1005 Tulsa OK: 1976, 667 Vancouver BC: 2008, 659 Vaughan ON: 2021, 575 Virginia Beach VA: 2007, 508 |
Funny how Toronto jumps from, what, 1976 to 2022 now? Plus by the mid 2020's the current tallest will become the 4th tallest at least. Also, Toronto's new tallest according to the latest plans will be 1,009 feet.

That's a fun list to browse, thank you!

1,005 vs. 1,009 is a small enough difference that I will just leave it as "1,005 ft" for now. In fact even for completed buildings different sources sometimes differ by 1 - 5 ft. Some of it is probably a rounding error when people convert from meters to feet, or feet to meters. For the above list I used Emporis' figures whenever possible. |
If you compiled those lists yourself you have even more spare time and interest in the subject than I have, and I have a lot of both
The title of the thread says, "was built" and the first building listed in Toronto may be built by 2022? Thus, I changed name of the thread from "was built" to "was/will be built" Also, I believe that Cincinnati's Carew Tower held the title of the tallest building in any city in North America longer than any other since it's reign was 80 years, from 1930-2010 and even then, it was only rivalled due to the roof of Great American Tower as Carew is 8 more stories |
It just misses your height threshold, but just for reference, the tallest building in Memphis, TN was built in 1965 (!!!) ... some things never change.

New Westminster, "Pier West 1" 590.6 feet. Expected completion 2020.

Country: United states, Canada Structure Type: Highrise Status: Built, Construction Order By: Official height Height: Feet Then I looked through all the buildings and whenever a new city appeared, that building is the city's tallest, and I wrote down its year and structural height in an Excel file (so I could sort easily). But as much as we love SkyscraperPage, Emporis' height data are more authoritative, so I looked up each city's tallest building there and used Emporis' data as the final height values. Quote:
