**Fellow Canadian forumers, please feel free to correct any errors**

Why would you use wiki on skyscrapage? Wrong Forma tower under construction.

Generally speaking, there aren't too many buildings over 100m in the Midwest that lie outside of the municipal limits of central cities. Chicagoland has the two mentioned above, Metro Detroit has a handful in Southfield, MI, and then there's the infamous "second downtown" of Clayton, MO with several of them just outside of St. Louis. I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

True while Miami is the other extreme. The only way I figured it out was by picking 'Florida' under 'State' then clicking on each one that didn't say 'Miami' to figure out where in Florida it was located. Took forever.

For Miami I use: Miami, Sunny Isles, Ft. Lauderdale, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Miami Beach, Riviera Beach, Aventura, Bal Harbour, Sunrise, West Palm Beach
For Vancouver I use: Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam
For Toronto I use: Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham
For Los Angeles I use: Los Angeles, Long Beach, Glendale, Burbank, El Segundo
For Houston I use: Houston, Galveston, The Woodlands, Pasadena
For New York I use: New York, Fort Lee, Guttenberg, Jersey City, New Rochelle, Newark, North Bergen, West New York, Franklin Township, White Plains

As others have mentioned Chicago's growth is hard to capture due to angles and the fact we already had most of our skyline defining giants from the 70s onward, and a lot of the 150m+ towers have been relative infill

North America: New York, Toronto, Miami, and Chicago have built the most 150m+ buildings since 2000.
Based on U/C: Toronto, Vancouver, and Austin are surging.

150m+ Built since 2000

1. New York: 146
2. Toronto: 93
3. Miami: 69
4. Chicago: 60

150m+ U/C

1. Toronto: 39
2. New York: 19
3. Vancouver: 14
4. Austin, Miami: 9

Thanks for posting the photos!
Below is an Atlanta Business Chronicle map showing the changes to midtown Atlanta in the 5 years from 2018 until the end of 2023. $8.4 billion in development, 5.5 million SF in office space and 7,500 residential units.
Blue: delivered between 2018 and 2023
Green: under construction in December 2023
Orange: proposed as of December 2023

Midtown Atlanta is looking great! I'll be in ATL for five days this August and look forward to seeing how much has changed since I moved away in 1999. I've only been back twice briefly since then.

The largest cluster is that in Canary Wharf, followed by the City and Southwark (where the tallest, the Shard is located), but there are other emerging clusters in Vauxhall and North Acton.

Are there any plans to remove that huge freeway? Seems a bit out of place.

Feds announce $207M windfall for downtown Stitch, BeltLine link

In an announcement that City of Atlanta leadership is calling “monumental,” legislators from Georgia revealed today that more than $200 million in federal funding has been secured for two of the most ambitious transportation and recreation infrastructure projects in city history: Downtown’s highway-capping Stitch and the Atlanta BeltLine.

According to U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s office, the “historic” federal funding will total $208 million, or enough to cover construction of the Stitch’s initial phase, plus pieces of a new multi-use pathway branching off the BeltLine for a project called the Flint River Trail.

Both projects are designed to help unite neighborhoods and boost alternate transportation options.

Ossoff made the announcement alongside two other champions of both projects at the federal level, Sen. Raphael Warnock and U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Atlanta. The grant funding is part of the fruits of a bipartisan infrastructure bill approved by Congress in 2021.

The lion’s share of funding, $157 million, will go toward funding phase one of the Stitch. That calls for up to 5 acres of new park space over the downtown Connector between Peachtree and Courtland streets, multimodal improvements for the area’s street network, aesthetic upgrades, and easier access to MARTA’s Civic Center bus and rail station.

^ and road crazy odot wont even properly cap a bit of the innerbelt for cleveland. i guess it pays to be a one horse state. bleh.

campus district proposal

odot reality (+ tearing down the historic juvenile detention center campus)

a 1931 detention center campus structure -- sorry but it really boils me !!

llamaorama · #**193** Posted **May 5, 2024, 3:13 AM**

And to think all that development in Midtown Atlanta is on top of a MARTA subway line.

Atlanta really is quite an urban city for being in the sunbelt.

Nouvellecosse · #**194** Posted **May 5, 2024, 3:56 AM**

I didn't know about the Atlanta "stitch" proposal. Looks like a good project; hopefully later phases will cover the whole stretch from Cortland St to 17th St.

Unfortunately you can't just "remove" Interstates 75 and 85 from running through central Atlanta, just as in Toronto you can't just disassemble the Gardiner, but capping the highway and connecting Midtown with the Westside is about as good as it could get. It would be Atlanta's equivalent of Boston's Big Dig.

I'm not as familiar with Atlanta but you can definitely just disassemble the Gardiner. It hasn't been done yet but it's been discussed as a potential option for years and is considered the most cost-effective solution.

Yeah, as much as I am a proponent of getting highways out of cities, doing so in Atlanta would be extremely tricky since the city lacks a well connected surface road network

I have 18 Under Construction for Miami so I don't know where the the numbers are off. Perhaps 2 of them completed construction already?
