Yes, and if you look at the list you realize that Chicago is really not that far behind cities like Shanghai, Chongqing, and Kuala Lumpur..and is barely behind cities like Wuhan, Tianjin, and Abu Dhabi. If a few more get built then Chicago could surpass those last 3, depending on what they do of course.
I wonder what a list of 600+ footers would look like

Glad to see Chicago is a very strong 2nd place in the US.

I stopped paying so much attention to Dubai, so I am surprised that it's #1 like that. That's pretty impressive.
The US is not that great when talking about 900+ footers. NYC is good, but nearly 60% of those are currently U/C. Taking the number for Chicago independently it doesn't look that impressive, but when you look at it compared to other cities around the world, you realize it's actually pretty decent.
