If this whole shutdown lasts a few weeks, I don't think any city will have long-term issues with construction. If this shutdown lasts 6 months, then probably every city will have issues.
Tourism heavy cities will feel it first.
Some cities like Boston and Philadelphia are also stuck because the governors halted all construction (except healthcare or emergency). I know of several large projects in both cities held up because of this.
Baltimore is the same (unless it has federal funding)
Dang. I missed both cities--should've included them now that I think back.
Initially I was also going to include Minneapolis & Portland, OR, but I decided they weren't necessarily "booming" in terms of high rises right now. Houston is building, but not a ton. Same for Dallas. But, they probably should've been on the poll.
Houston literally has more skyscrapers under construction than Atlanta. You boost Atlanta all day long, it hasn’t built anything taller than 515 feet since 2010 but to you it’s booming with skyscraper construction... delusional

Houston continues to have a lot of construction and Dallas has a good amount as well.
I voted for Atlanta. In 10 years Atlanta’s only built the Icon Midtown at 515 ft. A scraper at 500 ft called 1k Park Avenue is u/c and only the second skyscraper being built in Atlanta in 12 years.
Atlanta’s only built two skyscrapers taller than 600 ft since 2000. 3344 Peachtree in 2008 is 665 ft and 1180 Peachtree in 2006 is 657 ft. Atlanta hasn’t built any skyscrapers taller than 515 ft since 2010. Atlanta doesn’t build tall scrapers anymore.

Atlanta doesn’t build tall anymore. It shouldn’t have been an option on the poll since cities building taller and more were left off.
And Phoenix doesn’t have any skyscrapers....
Developments in ATL and Dallas are pretty similar in size.
Yes and no...
Tourist mecca here... But yet, most of the highrise construction is far removed from that, and is there to serve local professionals (and now students with the UCF Downtown Campus.) I don't see that part of the industry slowing down here.
What will definitely slow down and pretty much come to a halt, is any sort of hotel/resort construction in the tourist district, which, yes, is crushing to the Florida economy.
To clarify, I meant bigger picture, tourism heavy cities will feel it first. But great to hear construction hasn't slowed.

There are 16 highrises u/c in Dallas and only 8 u/c in Atlanta. The tallest skyscraper u/c in Dallas is the Amli Fountain Place 565 ft. The tallest u/c in Atlanta is 1k Park Avenue 500 ft.
FWIW, there are 15 highrises u/c in Houston with Tex Tower at 735 ft being the tallest.

I knew that more is going up in Dallas, but I was just referring to your comment about ATL not building tall. Dallas doesn’t really either for the most part.

Oh, well yes, absolutely. Fortunately, I work in a virtually recession-proof industry, but I do know that for many, the city (and state) essentially shutting down is creating all sorts of issues.
All skyscraper construction in Boston has been put on a [hopefully] temporary hold.
