Here's Omaha's forthcoming 373 foot residential tower... second from left...

I'm pretty sure that the Ascent @ Roebling and the tallest of the South Shore condos are over 300 feet.

Is south shore going on the Kentucky side, or the Ohio side of the border?

South Shore.

One Market Square's status is still in the air, due to poor sale (for a variety of reasons), they've been given until Thanksgiving to come up with a new or revized plan.

There's another proposal for Indianapolis, the InterContinental Hotel. It's 44 stories and is expected to be the city's second tallest (so it's over 530 ft.).

A few renderings from IndyBob over at SSC

I'll try to dig up the day time rendering, it's around here somewhere.

This is an incredibly good idea for a thread, Steely.

Just curious, though--why are you using 300 ft as a cutoff here as opposed to the 12 story cutoff you're using in the Chicago superthread? Also, I noticed you put an Evanston highrise on the list. Does that mean we should include Chicago suburban highrises here as well?

because i had to make a cut-off somewhere and i didn't feel like keeping track of every 15 story marriott suites proposal in suburban bumblefuck midwest. 300' is incredibly arbitrary, but it's a height that i feel seperates skyscrapers from mere highrises in most midwest cities and i'm really only interested in seeing what the tallest projects in the region are.

i included the evanston proposal because evanston doesn't get enough credit for itself being so completely hidden under the chicago shadow. if there were any other suburban chicago proposals that were 300+'/30+ floors, i would have included them as well, but currently no such projects exist.

The Lindell aka Lindell Condominiums will be 310'. It will be 26 floors above grade and 2 below. $93 million in cost. I have all the info on it that you could ever possibly want from a meeting last year between opponents and the alderwoman for the area. Some NIMBY's from the surrounding streets tryed to get it cancelled, but lost. I got a front row seat during an internship with the alderwoman for the area.

^ Has that started contruction yet? In my past several visits to STL I always saw signs for that but wondered when it would start.

That's a great development for the CWE

Here's a rendering of the Westin St. Paul that Steely asked for. It's obviously the taller tower on the right. It's part of the massive Bridges of St. Paul project.

Avian001 · #13 Posted **Oct 31, 2006, 10:10 PM**

Here's another of the Westin.

KC's biggest projects are all under 300 feet.

Nothing proposed for Cleveland?

The only thing that is really vertical proposed for downtown Cleveland is 515 Euclid Avenue. Which at 26 stories would be in the 300+ ft range.

Most everything else is clusters of residential or mixed use collections of buildings being built in phases one at a time in the 5-15 story range.

Wow Minneapolis has some great proposals

Pretty cool to see Milwaukee has the second tallest buliding under construction in the Midwest, right now.

I hadn't until now seen renderings of the Greektown;

But the first thing to pop in my mind was this:it reminds me of a waterd down version of the Ruvin proposal for Milwaukee, even though Greektown's design likely came first.
