NY has About 15 towers of 950' or more (ie, taller than anything in Clt) under construction or about to begin. That's a boom.
You obviously came her to troll, a boom is completely relative. 15 towers is a boom for New York City just as 4 or 5 is for Charlotte, no matter the size of the building. Not to mention comparing NYC to Charlotte is apples and oranges. Its like comparing New York to the likes of Hong Kong, a city that has double the number of large towers.

HK does not have double the number of towers that NY does, and it has far fewer 1,000' plus towers.
Lastly, NY has about 50 towers of 400' or more under construction at the moment. 15 relates only to those of 950' or more.
NY has a very large number of low-rise buildings that often get put into data involving "towers". Hong Kong has double the number of large towers because of the lack of space and the fact that not as many people commute to work from suburbs in Hong Kong so they live in the city in large housing structures.
Those of us in architecture use sites like emporis for superficial research before we go into an area that we are about to work in. So if you want to read articles from wikipedia etc. and get all your information from there be my guest, but I can promise you there are much better sites out there for quality data.
On a side note, NY does have very impressive buildings in the works, some of which I am proud to have a hand in creating. NY's skyline will be changing drastically over the next few years.

Good info, what is the minimum height to be considered a skyscraper? I do recall what Dubai was doing a few years ago.....I'm sure what you would call that but it seemed well beyond a "boom"....eat your heart out Nu Yawk.
I found a funfact that i thought was intersting-
"Raleigh plans on extending there lightrail to connect with Chapel Hill and Durham-which would make the largest light rail in the world"
Anyways,
Durham is about 3.8 hours away from DC. It's just a drive through Virginia and somewhat at the border of Maryland.
Durham is closer to DC then it is to Charlotte.
Durham is also 7.5 hours away from New York City, with smaller states in the northern part- so companies should try to invest in Charlotte. For example- It cost's more money to own land everywhere in New York City. There is a height restriction in DC, as well as Charlotte has more people then DC, Jersey City is smaller then Charlotte, as well as all the rest of the cities in new Jersey. Not much in SC, then we run into a big problem. Atlanta. Even though 'physically' Charlotte is bigger then Atlanta- 'mentally' Atlanta is bigger then Charlotte.

Impossible. There was a 5k square foot house in charlotte for sale for the past few months (currently sold) for 11 million dollars. That just means that wherever your house is, has low land value. I wasn't considering how DC has more expensive land value then charlotte-but how there are more millionaires in Charlotte then there are in DC. I would post several links to prove that but apparently "city-data" has competitors. Though i can list a few facts to think about-
1. Charlotte has more high rises then DC.
2. SouthPark is very big. From the start of SouthPark to SouthPark Mall (which is as far as i've been) is over 13 miles. And that is a straight road. So all the expensive houses there are on the right and left into separate neighborhoods are very long.
Here is a good example of a house for sale in Fayetteville-
Address- 460 Willow Bend Lane Fayetteville, Nc
Price- $1,749,900
Size-5,000 square feet 6 bedroom 6 bathroom
-----
Are you trying to say that it costs more to live in Fayetteville then it does to live in Charlotte?
For people who live in charlotte 3,000 squarefeet is considered to be a "average" size.
1. Well duh.
2. What? 13 miles? Have you ever looked at a map. What road are you talking about?
Southpark neighborhood (Barclay Downs) is only 1.641 square miles and only has 4,389 people. If I had to guess what road you would be talking about it would be Sharon, and those houses are part of Foxcroft/Eastover and Myers Park.
Btw the median house in Washington DC is $460,000
The Median house price in Charlotte is $153,400
