Only buildings that are *currently under construction* or completed this year are included, so no proposals. It’s interesting to note the US has only one (St Petersburg) – most cities that support skyscrapers already have one, and growing mid-sized cities don’t build very tall. Newark would have been on here with the trio of towers at Halo, but that project has been put on hold this year even after the first tower has topped out.
In the near future, Boise, Phoenix, SLC, and West Palm Beach could show up, as well as other NYC/Miami suburbs. Bellevue is the latest city to get a skyscraper, with Sonic completing last year.
Hamburg would’ve also been here with Elbtower, which would have 245 m tall. It’s also on hold as the developer has gone bust. There’s an interesting cluster in Southern Brazil (the richest part of the country) as more mid-sized cities are building tall residential towers.
Every skyline today started with only one skyscraper, so it’s exciting to think about what they could look like in the future.

What a great graphic. Thank you.
Pretty cool! Only a single city in USA =(
Plenty of possibilities in the USA like Phoenix, San Jose, Columbus Sacramento, Oakland that doesn’t have any buildings over 150m.
