North America highrise construction map

Miami is the center of six million people. That will tend to mean a lot. The municipal population is irrelevant.

That said, it's also impressive construction for the center of six million people.

It's also very geographically constrained. The only place to go is up to accommodate growth.

Hi it's me the original creator lol, I knew there were lots of inaccuracies with my initial post, and I posted a more accurate (but not error-free, as some commentors have pointed out even more information lol) version here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeaut...ghrises_under/

And the size of the bubble is metro population. I thought it would be interesting to see how high-rise construction correlated with the size of the area.

Wow, this did not come up at all when I was doing research for the graphic. Good to see that Nola has something under construction.

Came here to say this too. They are missing the fact that there are several u/c in Grand Rapids.

Studio Park Tower
Corewell Admin. Building
Corewell Ambulatory Patient Tower

All greater than 10 stories. Looks like this map was just a fun pet project for someone and good for them. No offense taken. Just not super accurate.

This is from the same Reddit link:


The figures are for the whole metro areas of NYC and Miami.

In percentage terms the number of skyscrapers has increased by:

Total US: +77.5% (499 to 887)

New York: +80.1% (186 to 335)

Chicago: +80.3% (76 to 137) (I'm actually shocked this is higher than New York, though most of this was in the 2000s)

Miami: +1166% (6 to 76)

Houston: +42.9% (28 to 40)

Rest of the US: +47.3% (203 to 299)

Los Angeles: +36.4% (22 to 30)
San Francisco: +44.4% (18 to 26)
Boston: +50% (16 to 24)
Philadelphia: +88.9% (9 to 17)
Seattle: +100% (11 to 22)
Atlanta: +46.2% (13 to 19) (only 1 was built since 2010)
DFW: +9% (21 to 23) (lol)
Austin: N/A% (0 to 8)
Las Vegas: +700% (2 to 16)
Rest of the rest: +25.3% (91 to 114)

Oh wow I just realized Austin is poised to overtake Dallas pretty quickly.

If all under construction towers are completed, Austin would have 16 completed skyscrapers which is inches away from Dallas. I know construction has slowed in Austin but they're definitely coming for that 2nd most skyscrapers spot in Texas unless Dallas starts building more.

Are you sure about this? I can remember in 1999 when the city of Miami proper only had 6 skyscrapers above 500+ feet.
The current SSP Diagrams page has it at 55 over that height now.
I have it at 62 completed with over 18 U/C in my Signature.
This isn't even including cities in the metro like Sunny Isles Beach which has over a dozen of that height or taller.

You’re asking the wrong person. I had nothing whatsoever to do with compiling this list. I just copy-and-pasted what is posted at the same link as the chart.

[bobdreamz]

Fair enough.

As the maker of the graph, I'm not entirely sure what you mean? The graph shows that Miami (in green) had only 6 skyscrapers in 2000 and has 76 skyscrapers now.

I don't have an issue with your map moreso that this was posted above :

The figures are for the whole metro areas of NYC and Miami.

I was pointing out that the figures seem to be for the city of Miami proper and not the entire metro.
