That list put Detroit at 6. Actually it has 7 and one only 5 feet short, if you include the flag pole that will put Detroit right at 8.
1. Marriott Hotel Ren. Cen. - 748 ft. 2. Comerica Tower - 620 ft. 3. Penobscott Bldg. - 565 ft. 4. Ren. Cen. Office Tower #1. 506 ft. 5. Ren. Cen. Office Tower #2. 506 ft. 6. Ren. Cen. Office Tower #3. 506 ft. 7. Ren. Cen. Office Tower #4. 506 ft. 8. The Guardian Bldg. - 495 ft. Detroit has also had at least 3 buildings over 500 feet cancelled. The Book Tower #2 - 944 ft. The Fisher Bldg. original plan - 840 ft. Greektown Casino Hotel plan #2 - 558 ft. |
Detroit has 7...

There are 5 buildings in Toronto only like 5-10 feet short of 500.
We have a ton of 300-500 feet buildings. |

Surprisingly, there are more buildings over 300 feet in Paris than in a city such as San Francisco. Indeed, there are 98 of them in Paris whereas there are 88 of them in San Francisco. Just as a comparison with other European cities. There are 38 of them in London, 32 in Frankfurt, 44 in Istanbul and 64 in Moscow (though I believe some aren't recorded on the SSP database, especially for Moscow). |

I don't see how that's any different than any other city. . . We have a ton of 300-500 feet buildings. Cool. . . but that's not what we're talking about. . . anyways the height game is just that. . . a game. . . there's no way to know for sure without accurate research that buildings are exactly what they are in height, so that number is constantly a moving target. . . given that fact, my thoughts are to measure a city based upon number of buildings over a certain number of floors. . . 35 seems to give me the impression that a building is worthy of "skyscraper" status. . . cities like Vancouver and Sao Paulo would be better represented whereas a 50 floor cutoff would almost eliminate them entirely. . . hmm. . . so many ways to slice it. . . how should I go about it next??? Anyhow if anyone thinks those numbers are in question, please feel free to PM me with some information as to what it should be and why (of course a reliable source eg. site survey of building under construction or blueprints reveal building is whatever blah blah blah is needed before I go about making any changes). . . it would also be nice to know what I'm missing for Chicago or how Steely got 87 buildings completed while I'm showing 86. . . |
Why stop at 5 buildings? Why not just 2 buildings, or 10?

By the way, I do have issues to understand how you could get those figures of 7 and 1 for Paris. |
Tom, you're also counting buildings right at 500' and not just those *over* 500', right? If so, Philly has 11:
1. Comcast Center 975' (u/c) 2. 1 Liberty Place 945' 3. 2 Liberty Place 848' 4. Mellon Bank Center 792' 5. Bell Atlantic Tower 739' 6. IBX Tower 625' 7. 1 Commerce Square 565' 8. 2 Commerce Square 565' 9. City Hall 548' 10. Residences at the Ritz 518' (u/c) 11. 1818 Market St 500' |
we stopped building anything over 15 stories and that is why miami is going to blow by us. at least we're not 3rd world though....
|
Wow, go Miami!

I'll have some time today to look at these corrections and see if my search criteria made any mistakes. . . I'll let you all know later. . . thanks for your input. . .
|
While youre making corrections... I count 4 500+ buildings being built right now in Atlanta with at least 3 more to start in the next two or three months.

Hmm... Sacramento:
Current= none. :( U/C= Towers on Capitol Mall (tower 1) 615' Towers on Capitol Mall (tower 2) 615' A few more are in the pipeline, but we'll have to wait for the housing market to pick up again. |
"while i only have access to the public version."
which becomes increasingly more pathetic - don't know so many volunteer for what is essentially a pay site |
