Useless filler comment of the day, as measured only by the tallest building in each skyline.
If that is the case, then this building is already taller than the tallest buildings in these cities’ skylines:
Boston (Downtown), Winthrop Center, 691’ (U/C and topped out)
New Orleans, Hancock Whitney Center, 697’
Indianapolis, Salesforce Tower, 701’
Atlantic City, Ocean Casino Resort, 710’
Denver, Republic Plaza, 717’
Detroit, Renaissance Center Marriott, 727’
Mobile, RSA Battle House Tower, 745’
San Antonio, Tower of the Americas, 750’
Minneapolis, Capella Tower, 776’
New York City (Queens/Long Island City), Skyline Tower, 778’
Boston (Back Bay), John Hancock Tower, 790’

These cities are still to be surpassed by this building:
Pittsburgh, US Steel Tower, 841’
Oklahoma City, Devon Tower, 844’
*Miami, Panorama Tower, 868’
Charlotte, BoA Corp. Center, 871’
—
And these cities’ skylines’ tallests will be surpassed by the successor to this tower:
Jersey City, 99 Hudson, 900’
Houston (Uptown/Galleria), Williams Tower, 901’
Dallas, Bank of America Plaza, 921’
Seattle, Columbia Center, 933’
Cleveland, Key Tower, 945’
Houston (Downtown), JPMorgan Chase Tower, 1002’

Only these cities’ skylines will remain with a taller tower:
Atlanta (Downtown/Midtown), Bank of America Plaza, 1023’
New York City (Brooklyn), Brooklyn Tower, 1066’
San Francisco, Salesforce Tower, 1070’
Los Angeles (Downtown), Wilshire Grand, 1100’
Philadelphia, Comcast Center, 1121’
Las Vegas, Stratosphere Tower, 1149’
Chicago,
Sears Tower, 1450’
New York City (Midtown), Central Park Tower, 1550’
New York City (Downtown), 1WTC, 1776’

360, The Independent, and The Austonian, while being hugely impactful on our own skyline were also moving the needle tremendously vis-a-vis other cities:
Buffalo, Seneca One Tower, 529’
Baltimore, Transamerica Tower, 529’
Hartford, City Place I, 535’
Los Angeles (Century City), SunAmerica Center, 535’
Portland, Wells Fargo Center, 546’
Little Rock, Simmons Tower, 547’
Louisville, 400 West Market, 549’
Fort Worth, Burnett Plaza, 567’
Atlanta (Sandy Springs), Concourse V, 570’
Tampa, 100 North Tampa, 579’

Jacksonville, BoA Tower, 617’
Nashville, AT&T Building, 617’
Columbus, Rhodes State Office Tower, 624’
Kansas City, 1KC Place, 624’
St. Louis, Gateway Arch, 630’
Des Moines, The Principal Building, 630’
Omaha, First National Bank Tower, 634’
Sunny Isles Beach, Muse (prev. tallest), 649’
Cincinnati, Queen City Square, 665’
Atlanta (Buckhead), 3344 Peachtree, 665’
Tulsa, BOK Tower, 677’

These two towers are groundbreaking, and even more so as only one city on this list, Miami, is currently likely to put up a tower taller than 98RR with the Waldorf Astoria and another taller than 6XG with Okan Tower and a smattering of other proposals as well. Raleigh currently also has an approved 800’ tower, but that won’t move the needle vis-a-vis Austin. Nashville, while admirable and perhaps adding as much bulk and filler than Austin, always seems to be a step behind in height.
