And so it begins again. Here’s a link to the last page of v4:
The list starts in 1999 because that's when 1 Superior Place was completed. It was the first 500+ foot tower built in Chicago in many years and it signaled the return of large amounts of highrise construction to the city of Chicago after a bit of a hiatus during the mid 1990’s. Click on the individual building names to be taken to the corresponding Emporis building page to learn more and see pics/renderings. You can also click on the word “website” at the end of each building entry line in the list to be taken to the official project website to learn even more and for developer/marketing contact information.
The buildings are ranked according to the structural height per the guidelines of Emporis. Where no roof height is listed, it is either unknown or the structural height and the roof height are one and the same.

All of the credit for this thread goes to the hard-working and extremely dedicated Chicago editors and photographers of Emporis. It is they who track down developers and architects to get height data and renderings. It is they who schlep around town taking pictures and keeping track of the status of all the various projects in Chicago. I merely arrange the information they gather into this simple, concise, and easy to read list.
