A city that has 2 10-story buildings under construction would look the same on this map but that would obviously be significantly less impactful/notable.

Genuine question: how many of these will be new tallests?

Nashville (750 ft), Omaha (677 ft), Austin (1,022 ft), and Miami (1,049 ft) are some that will have new tallests.

The map in the link provided shows high rise construction (10 stories or more) in 2024. Found it interesting to see where cities are actively building high rises. I would have expected more high rises going up in the Western cities. Texas is going crazy along with Atlanta, Miami, NYC, and the Canadian cities.

So for cities with the tallest under construction we have:
Miami: Waldorf Astoria Miami - 1,049 ft.
Austin: Waterline - 1,022 ft.
Nashville: 1010 Church - 750 ft.
Omaha: Mutual of Omaha Tower - 677 ft.
St. Petersburgh : 400 Central - 515 ft.
Richmond: CoStar Tower - 510 ft.
Ft Lauderdale: RD Las Olas - 499 ft.
Salt Lake City : Astra - 450 ft.
West Palm Beach: One West Palm - 426 ft.

*Edited to adjust list in descending order by building height

I could not care less about other cities. Here's what I'm interested in:

My response to that would have been “like what, name some names and share some details” but alas, mystery projects they shall remain for now.

Thank you for that rundown Orlando.

It seems like for every 10 proposals in SLC, only 1 gets built after 2-4 downgrades.

FYI:
I would add the Cascade at City Creek to the list of proposed towers. Also, probably the parcel east of Harmons that City Creek Reserve owns. I could see the church pushing those two towers to be completed for the Olympics.

Also, I can confirm that today my firm has been contacted by a developer about a new condominium project on the Regent Street Hotel parcel. I can't state who my client is, but they have asked us to be part of their team, and will be sending us updated architectural plans of the project when the architect has them finished in a few weeks.

Great news, especially if it's condos! I know that Dakota Pacific sold the parcel not too long ago.

I wonder how it will interface with Plum Alley and the west wall of Astra.

mstar · #**18412** Posted **Aug 1, 2024, 12:04 AM**

Maybe we will start to see more condos being proposed and built now that the apartment inventory is much higher than it has ever been. I hope so anyway.

It's Carl's Jr isn't it?

JK, this is awesome news!
