And those two cities don't seem to have the demand for supertall residential, and neither does Atlanta. I only see Miami, NYC, Chicago, and maybe LA building the next wave of supertalls this decade. And maybe one from a place like Charlotte, and one more from Austin.

I'd love to see more from LA. Also Seattle, Philly and SF have supertalls proposed so I hope at least one or two go through.
Chicago has two office supertalls though, Sears and AON, so that isn't true unless you're referring to recent construction.
There were rumors that a 90 story building is planned for Austin so hopefully that can sneak in before said peak if that's the case.
As far as demand for supertall residential I think / hope that will happen once those cities start filling in more.
