This probably ranks considerably down the list, but the Statler Hotel in Detroit was torn down relatively recently to make way for future development. It wasn't that tall (232' or so), but it was a monster of a building:







But, like the Hudsons, they'd tried putting out proposals for redevelopment for years, and no solid ones were coming in because of the sheer size of the building, and the cost it would have taken to redevelop. At least, that's what the city said...
