100 U.S. and Candadian cities sorted by year that the tallest skyscraper was built
I was a bit bored and wanted to see this a bit clearer.
For future buildings I only counted U/C projects and not proposals. Cities in bold have buildings over 200M The list is a bit Texas-biased as I am from Texas. If you see anything missing, let me know I can add or alter it. New York 2018 Philadelphia 2018 San Francisco 2017 Miami 2017 Los Angeles 2017 Boise 2014 Burnaby 2016 New York City 2014 Arlington VA 2014 Coquitlam 2013 Mississagua 2012 Atlantic City 2012 Calgary 2012 Oklahoma City 2012 Cincinnati 2011 Edmonton 2011 Austin 2010 Las Vegas 2010 Niagra Falls ON 2009 Bellevue 2008 San Jose 2008 Vancouver 2008 Raleigh 2008 Virginia Beach 2007 Galveston 2007 Mobile 2007 Fort Lauderdale 2004 Jersey City 2004 The Woodlands 2002 Clayton 2002 Omaha 2002 Salt Lake City 1998 Winston Salem 1995 Nashville 1994 Honolulu 1994 Louisvile 1993 Sacramento 1992 London ON 1992 Tampa 1992 Baltimore 1992 Montreal 1992 Charlotte 1992 San Diego 1991 Des Moines 1991 Cleveland 1991 Winnipeg 1990 Albuqurque 1990 Indianapolis 1990 Jacksonville 1990 St. Louis 1989 Bloomington 1988 Kansas City 1988 San Antonio 1988 Orlando 1988 Corpus Christi 1988 Lexington 1987 St. Paul 1987 Birmingham 1986 Tucson 1986 Little Rock 1986 Billings 1985 Irving 1985 Seattle 1985 Dallas 1985 Hartford 1984 Denver 1984 Anchorage 1983 Fort Worth 1983 Houston 1982 Richmond 1981 Knoxville 1979 Gatinuea 1978 Midland 1978 Detroit 1977 Tulsa 1976 Boston 1976 Toronto 1975 Hamilton 1974 Chicago 1974 Minneapolis 1973 Columbus 1973 Milwaukee 1973 Quebec 1972 Phoenix 1972 Portland 1972 New Orleans 1972 Ottawa 1971 Amarillo 1971 Memphis 1971 El Paso 1971 Dayton 1971 Tacoma 1970 Oakland 1970 Pittsburgh 1970 Buffalo 1970 Rochester 1968 Albany 1966 Lubbock 1955 Lincoln 1932 Newark 1931 Providence 1927 Waco 1911 Washington D.C.1899 Some interesting observations can defiantly be made. Some of the largest gaps in recent years of cities getting tallests, 3 years from 2004 to 2007 and 4 years from 1998 to 2002. We are also looking at a 2 year gap for 2015 and 2016. Some long streaks as well, 15 years between 80 and 95 where several cities got their current new tallest, and the whole of the 1970's. Some interesting cities as well, Chicago is 76th on the list, but Trump came close. The top four in the next few are all major U.S. cities |
I know Texans don't really believe NYC exists but this is ridiculous
|
cool start, needs major updating. Some cities conspicuously absent, others clearly have buildings above 200m.
|
I hate to be that guy but it's spelled "Cincinnati."
|
You can bold Cleveland - two are over 200m, and Akron's tallest was completed in 1931 - not very tall but quite a handsome Art Deco tower.
|
Bellevue should be 2005 and 2016 (x2) with buildings up against its 450' height limit.
Seattle might never challenge the Columbia Center, given our current FAR limits (everywhere) and height limits (nearly everywhere). Though residential doesn't count toward FAR, so that's a hope. |

Cool list, Burlington 2012 can be added.
Burlington, Ontario, Canada | Strata | 60.35 ft | 21 Floors | Completed 2012 Burlington is going to get about 5 more new tallests by the end of the decade. |

Hamilton has a proposal for a new tallest to be completed around 2019-2020 though (fingers crossed). |
You could add: Regina, 1988
Toronto and Hamilton are crazy considering the amount of investment in the last ten years in the area. |

Building height in Toronto is dictated by market forces almost entirely. When we do start building 300m+ it won't be 1-2 buildings, but a ton of them. We're hitting that tipping point now where land values downtown dictate 300m+ buildings. A lot at Bloor-Yonge was acquired for $300 million recently. A developer can't make a profit unless one goes substantially taller than has been the case before. |
I think you should make the cities with tallest above 300m bold and in red.
Then you can add Atlanta with its tallest: Bank of America Plaza 317m completed in 1992. |

Canada's tallest building (currently ranked 97th worldwide) will drop out of the top 100 soon.
