USA | Biggest Skyscraper Building Boom Ever!!!

[Steely Dan]

so, with 13 supertalls and almost 100 500+ footers currently U/C nationwide, i think we're currently in the midst of the biggest skyscraper building boom in US history, helped along in large part by the insanity taking place in NYC and miami. however, a dozen other US cities from coast to coast are taking part in the fun too.

here are some stats from the SSP database:


1,000+ footers currently U/C:

NYC - 9
chicago - 1
philly - 1
LA - 1
SF - 1
total - 13

i don't think the US has ever had 5 different cities with a supertall U/C at the same time.



500+ footers currently U/C:

NYC - 41 (+2 in jersey city)
miami - 18 (+5 in sunny isles)
chicago - 8
LA - 6
seattle - 4
philly - 3
SF - 3
houston - 2
austin - 2
boston - 1
denver - 1
milwaukee - 1
nashville - 1
baltimore - 1
total - 98

i don't think the US has ever had 99 500+ footers U/C at the same time. and spread across 14 different cities is probably a record too.
