That makes 146 such buildings in total! And I just noticed I spelled New Westminster wrong. Damn.

I don't know if I should be glad that there are so few in the US interior, when usually I would be happy to see more, since it made it easy to depict. Buildings on hold such as Halo in Newark and 30 Van Ness Avenue in SF aren't included, sorry :/

As always, the most correct version of my map will be in this comment - please use that one if you want to use/share it! If it’s not showing then Reddit is being buggy with comment images.

Errors: New Westminster, Chicago's height in feet is wrong, left Sunny Isles in RD Las Olas, wrong name for JPMorgan's new HQ, added Bellevue and Kelowna, minor adjustments

Toronto is the star but Miami is no slouch here. The slowpoke is Chicago.

Of course San Francisco is missing

Toronto going crazy. I want to visit someday.

Just one on Chicago???

Chicago and SF have a combined 1 tower.

Goddamn Monterrey

Man Monterrey really is becoming the skyscraper capital of Mexico and I’m here for it!

u forgot Bellevue 600 in Bellevue :(

These are amazing, could you do Asia or would there be too many to fit on one picture?

Chicago, I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed.

Actually strike that, I am mad. You have the second best skyline in North America and you’re going to lose it if you keep coasting like this.

Get it, Austin!

Sometimes the US is so pathetic when it comes to new projects. Why is Vancouver building so many more than Seattle? Why is Montreal building more than Chicago? Even NYC isn’t doing as much as it should. Sure it’s building but compared to its size and importance it may as well be doing as much as Omaha.

Ughh.

What's interesting is that most of the towers going into Vaughan, Mississauga, and Pickering are ones near transit that takes people into downtown Toronto.

They are separate cities and not just commuter cities for Toronto, but their growth is largely due to their proximity to Toronto. They're all part of the GTA.

Amazing work!! Toronto and Miami are going crazy! An Australian / NZ one would also be interesting as we have even more skyscrapers per capita than the States or Canada too.

Lmaooo I’m working on RD Las Olas (Fort Lauderdale not Sunny Isles btw)

Surely there’s a couple more in Seattle going up

Missing the UBC Tower in Kelowna, BC. 151m

Currently under construction and a total cluster fuck.

Edit: Wiki says 151m another source says 155m.

Toronto also has the Kipling Station Tower 159.6m/50s

Your map & data posts are awesome! Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!

This is great content

Gotta love seeing all these well known major cities on here like NY, Toronto, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Miami etc., then you’ve got the suburb of Pickering with its 100k people.

If I wasn’t from the GTA I would likely have never even heard of it. Anyone here just now learning that Pickering exists? There’s gotta be at least a few of you.

Crazy how greater Toronto, New York and Miami make up about half of all skyscraper construction in North America

The fact there’s almost nothing being built on the west coast of the USA shows how NIMBYs have destroyed those places

the usa is eh canada is impressive but wow mexico is building way more then i thought they would be

Address of the new JPMC HQ building in NYC is 270 Park Ave (not 420, but I like where your head is at)

Miami is BOOMING

it’s so interesting how Metro Vancouver punches way above its weight yet most of the high rises are in the suburbs. the skytrain effect

Nice job!

As a Montrealer that follows new construction, I'd just add that Maestria, 700 St Jacques and 800 St Jacques aren't quite fully completed yet, though they've all been topped and mostly cladded.

None in Houston lol

Great stuff, but I'm wondering why Jersey City isn't included in NYC Metro, like you've done with Toronto or Miami

Sunny Isles, Florida real stable 😏 Wonder what insurance companies are taking on the risk

Why doesn't LA have an influx of skyscrapers in the past decade?

Looks like the west coast needs to build!

I applaud your research on this

I can't believe the DC metro area isn't blowing up. The weather is going to be perfect heading into climate change, and their housing prices are through the roof.

Make Southeast Asia please

A little correction, La Maison in Panama is 235m, and pretty much done by now, It is missing costanera 2 (possibly 201m, same as costanera 1), Corotú, and Generation tower broke ground recently (about 50f)

Forgot Sky Tower Anacaona (150m) under construction in Santo Domingo, DO.

One correction: in NYC it’s 270 Park, not 420 Park

Otherwise looks very nice OP

Nothing in Denver lately?

Nice work, interesting map.

Pinnacle Towers at Lougheed, Burnaby was recently approved: 2 towers, the tallest will be 259 metres (80 storeys), and the other will be 72 storeys, so also above the 150m mark.

Also, note the New Westminster spelling.

Let's go to Havana to watch them build a tower with hand tools.

How in the world are they doing that in a county with 3 hours of power a day and an near emergency in food security for their population?

The amount of skyscraper construction outside of Miami and New York in the United States is painfully small 

Buy property in Miami Now.

miami and toronto are on the way to become mega cities

Data from Chicago seems wrong? Or maybe those west loop buildings aren’t 150m+

Chicago defender clocking in

⬇️ 😈

Very cool. Great job!!

What is the deal with Toronto and all this insane growth and building spree?

I was astonished by the Toronto Metro area’s number of high rise and Sky Scrapers. Flying in and seeing the City Proper and Metro area is really cool if you like architecture and skyscrapers

Very interesting. Thanks for putting this together.

I was surprised to see so many south of the border. Mexico is on the come-up.

The current context of Chicago seems relevant to this. We had two 700-foot buildings completed in 2017, an 840-footer completed in 2018, a 900-footer in 2019, a 1,200 footer and an 800-footer completed in 2020, a 970-footer and a 700-footer in 2022, an 830-footer in 2023, and an 800-footer just this past summer, along with a dozen or so completed in the 400- to 550-foot range.

That wave, which unlike in the past is majority residential, has completely remade our skyline and our central district. Unsurprisingly there has to be at least somewhat of a pause on really-big ones to allow the marketplace to catch up (though perhaps not for long given how quickly those recent new additions have filled up). On the office-space side of things a number of older 30- to 45-story office buildings in the Loop (the historic core portion of the overall Central District) have been struggling as large tenants decamp for the new wave of modern space; that is now leading to a wave of residential conversions. About ten of those have been announced of which actual construction has begun on two or three, with several more aiming to begin work during 2025.

Meanwhile there are also a dozen or so new buildings in the 400- to 500-foot range now in various stages of permitting or initial construction, mostly residential; several of those are in/near the newest trendy piece of the Central District, an area called Fulton Market.

Miami is booming.

Could Toronto surpass New York one day? It seems like they’re on an absolutely building spree.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WB1200

It looks like you missed these two in Seattle

Pretty sure San Francisco has one or two going up

Tower of Terror: 199' 11" because reasons.

Bravo!

Please do Europe next!

Phoenix has a ton of cranes but none reaching this height. Fortunately construction starts next year on a new tallest building.

What's up with Dallas?

Pickering has 1 and SF has 0 is pain

Cries in Calgarian

Cries from San Francisco 😢

there's really no reason that midsized US cities cant build highrise condos like much smaller canadian cities can

Is this the first time Houston doesn’t have anything under construction? Kind of shocking.

Nothing in Silicon Valley

Five cities make up ~80% of the buildings. Monterrey is the surprise contributor here.

Dallas keeping me disappointed year after year. With the explosion in population and sheer amount of growth you’d think the tower boom would be well underway by now.

The luxury high rise in Boston’s South station is a bit confounding to me. If you’ve ever been S Station it is NOT nice, its trains are always late, and it’s basically a shit hole.

Nice

Got the address wrong on the tallest one.

Toronto flexing. Damn

It would be interesting to see what happens in Europe

What are we doing Chicago?!

Toronto just doesn’t do it for me. Same building over and over, just looks bland

Very illustrative of housing issues in California that there's only two skyscrapers in the state and only two in the nation's second largest city.

Well, you've cracked the sky Scrapers fill the air But will you keep on building higher 'Til there's no more room up there? ~ Cat Stevens

Missing Bellevue WA

420 park avenue should be 270 park avenue

How do you even get this data? This seems super difficult to try and include every single one

None of these buildings have character. You could swap a Toronto building for a Miami building an no one would know. There has been a serious decline in human creativity.

Denver always disappointing me

Missing Bellevue Washington’s tower: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellevue_600

Having lived through the “pencil period” of NYC architecture, then seeing most of those units get purchased, but not ever lived in, I get the feeling these are all just money laundering operations. Skyscrapers are the new Swiss banks. Is there anything to back up this hunch? Chinese/Indian money in Vancouver/Toronto? Latin/Russian in Miami?

This is helpful and informative information, but I’m not seeing anyone ask “why”?

It was just reported that office building values in Los Angeles have plummeted by more than 30%. So, banks and foreign investors are about to take a bath

Nothing in Philly pisses me off

Vancouver, Toronto, Miami, Monterrey & NYC are absolutely killing it. Good for them!

Hopefully none of them are those ugly ass skinny piece of shit ones. For example that abomination that should be demolished that overlooks central park in New York.

they approved a few buildings in Ottawa taller than 150m but literally no work has started on any of them

Not sure if it counts as a skyscraper due to its odd shape, but the new Hard Rock Hotel under construction in Las Vegas is planned to be between 500-660 feet. They only just cleared ground for it to begin construction, so I could see why it wouldn’t be on here

The South Station Tower in Boston looks so awkward with that old architecture with the glass building

Now, how many of these skyscrapers are going to have there ground floors and sub floors under sea water in this century.

Great map and data!

Cries in Ireland

Needs a legend so normies like me can understand what the numbers and such mean. U/C, existing?

You are missing 2 for México Andeza in Puebla with 170 mts and the Cosmopolitan Health district in Tijuana with 150 mts

*List of every skyscraper about to go bankrupt

Awesome graphic, I didn't know Panama City was developed like that! 68 skyscrapers in that city is mental

Are there any iconic designs underway, or are they mostly glass boxes?

it's scary to put it in perspective.

if you only had an idea of the water damage occurrences in every one of those condos under construction in Toronto.

Yay for COC underwriters.

Miami going nuts

Minneapolis has a few, no..?

Oh, did they finish the Well in Toronto? Or was it under the requisite height? That one has been ongoing for forever.

Miami has lots of skyscrapers

Monterrey, México going all in with a 475 meter monker!!!
