You are right, but only about the first part. The energy industry makes up 48.4% of Houston's economy. It may not be the largest part of the economy, but it is the largest single industry in Houston by far. That's pretty incredible, and recipe for disaster if you ask me. But Houston will probably adapt to the change. We'll have to check back in 50 years :P
Where did you get this information? Last i checked it was like 20 or 30 something percent.
Is this like for anything energy/oil related, because that would make it more understandable.
It's a possibility but it would have to be a MAJOR corporation or combination of a few...still possible.
However the VAST majority of Supertalls are mixed-use towers; they are more economically more feasible since they can command top dollar for the upper floor views. Many now combine condos, shops, businesses, hotels, casinos...the list is nearly endless.
These combinations increase foot traffic and benefit many of the tenants.

Are they? Most that I've seen tend to be either residential or office. I guess you could say Trump Chicago is mixed-use since it's hotel and condos, but that's all residential. One Bryant Park is all office. Of course the older supertalls are all office (ESB, Chrysler, Willis, BOA Plaza in ATL, etc.).

Burj Dubai is a mixed use building.
