Essentially the emporis data is not meant to be a god sent accurate piece of info, but more for an "idea" of the highrise / skyscraper count and the activity. Again, not 100% accurate of course.
I remember these figures being a little lower 6 or so months ago. Either way, Chicago is up there in the global rankings, so who cares if its off by a little or if it some categories are fubar like the multi story.

Yes some of the older structures are still in there. But for sake of some statistics, the important part is the skyscraper and high rise count. I think with this boom going on now, hopefully it will add another 200 to the count in 5 or 6 years. More will pop up of course when it comes to the pipeline. 6 months from now, we could have even more proposals or hell, even a super tall. Time is the greatest tease in the real estate game.
