I remember 15 years ago being a little snot-nosed teenager and reading in awe about Hong Kong's 5 supertalls, and then 6 with the 1,588' International Commerce Centre (which I considered impossibly high). It seemed like an insurmountable lead (New York was stuck at 2 until 2009 of all years, paradoxically, started the current boom).
And yet Hong Kong's really gone stagnant, building nothing tall since (though a fair number of residential 200ms). Seems like the Chinese just sucked the life out of that city so they could give the wealth and momentum to Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
I don't really want to compare New York to other cities though. I'd prefer New York focus on itself. Would love to see 50 supertalls in 25 years and 100 supertalls in my lifetime. That would be incredible!
That's not too hard to envision. 25 by 2030 is basically guaranteed given how close New York City is, and what's in the pipeline. If everything below were finished that'd be 34, and that's unlikely. But supertalls announced through 2025 could be done by 2030, so 30+ is also very possible.
(Hopefully I'm not missing anything)
