Construction projects in the United States
Considering the lack of activity in this subforum, I've decided to undertake this half-hearted attempt at listing all the recently completed, under construction, on-hold, and proposed skyscrapers and mega-projects in the United States. I've tried to make this list as accurate and complete as possible but there's no guarantee of that. I'd encourage anyone to add to this list or correct misinformation.
