Like you, I have often wondered why some tall skyscrapers haven't been built in SA. One possible explanation may be that there are a lot of historic buildings in the downtown core that are closely protected by a local preservation society so clearing some of those buildings off to acquire highly desirable locations to build something new may be nearly impossible. However, there are some parking lots in the DT core and space around the edges of the DT core that one could build on so that's most likely not an adequate explanation. Maybe someday we'll get lucky and one of those F500 companies will decide to build a landmark tower, there's always hope! Anyway, I also want to say welcome to the forum.
