Naw, you are talking about very tall buildings I guess. I mean, in the past 20 years Minneapolis has seen 5 buildings in the 450-500 foot range, and 5 buildings in the 300-400 foot range. It's just funny, because outside of the few biggest cities in the US, it isn't common for any city to build taller than that frequently. Again, hardly been development starved here.

There are also currently 3 300 foot buildings under construction. These are all "high rises". I guess you are talking more about real "skyscrapers", which again are not all that frequently built in mid size US cities. Hopefully it is time for another now! The way you talk you would think Minneapolis is stagnant, when in reality, it has been very quickly developing. 900 foot buildings aren't everything.
