Regardless if they come to fruition or not. Chicago is still in a much different league than the rest of US cities not named New York when it comes to skylines. Not saying they won't be huge pluses.
I agree. Im just so excited for the city right now.
Seattle has 9 skyscrapers currently under construction and 27 more planned.
Where did you even get these numbers?
Nathaniel Williams, an urban planning blogger, already created an amazing graph to show Seattle's towers under development. For anyone interested, please take a look:
Even the graph provided in the link above is outdated by a year. Seattle currently has 14 skyscrapers under construction that are over 400' feet tall, 45 proposed in total to begin within the next year or two, as well as the West Coast's tallest skyscraper (1,111 feet) to begin construction in 2017.
Skyscrapers are usually considered buildings over 650 ft.
It varies from source to source, but I've never heard it that high. I've usually heard it at either 400 ft or 150 meters (492 feet). 150 meters is the most commonly used height I've seen in the US.
