Thats why i get upset with super prime sites like wolf point just getting 800 ft is such a letdown..what type of prime property can warrant a super tall then?

I'm not sure what that stats are but when it comes to skyscrapers, high-rises, is there really any city in the country that's experiencing a building boom in the magnitude of Chicago, outside of NYC? Honest question
Man we must be spoiled, with so many 800+ footers under construction or in the pipeline. Any city would be in awe of such a feat.
