The one thing that gets me is that while Chicago can't build at the same clip as Toronto, they always seem to have at least one supertall UC at any given time. Toronto could get a supertall UC if our lives depended on it.
We never approached close to 200 high rises under construction during this boom and as long as heights continue to trend upwards, we probably won't see above 150 again.

Chinese are developing skyscrapers and supertalls all across the US and Chicago is no exception. Same will happen here. Once the ice breaks, the flood gates will open. The supertalls in Toronto will come in bunches.
