Yes, 2016 more U.S. projects will be completed. For this year 432 PA will be the flagship (after Shanghai Tower). New York is in a league of its own.

North America
This was a triumphant year for the United States, and particularly for New York. At 541 meters, One World Trade Center, New York, was the tallest building to complete in 2014 and is now the world’s third-tallest. The last time the United States completed a tallest building worldwide was in 2009, when Chicago’s 423-meter Trump International Hotel & Tower debuted. Its 298-meter New York neighbor, 4 World Trade Center, also joined the ranks as the 12th-tallest building to complete in 2014. The completions of these two structures are important milestones in a long and often tortuous rebuilding process after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Meanwhile, midtown New York marked the completion of One57, a 306-meter residential tower. All of these completions point toward a resurgent skyscraper city in New York, which is one of the reasons CTBUH will hold its 2015 conference there.
