Off the top of my head Atlantic City tallest skyscraper is only 703 ft
tall , but still that's pretty impressive.

Jersey City is just a satellite city of NYC that lives off the finacial muscle and energy of NYC

Actually Revel is an 800 footer, just topped out and there is a second 800 footer as part of the complex to be built

Des Moines Iowa is a stand alone city on top of being a great urban city scrape.

The thing that I like the most about Hartford is the density of it's skyline , but the height isn't that impressive to me .

Hartford would of built a 800 feet office building, and a couple of 700s and 600s feet towers back in the late 80s... But the suburbans actually created a obstacles for those towers to be built. I know two towers were failed to be built like 5 years ago to create a gateway to a Puerto Rican community, thanks to the outsider. These people got nothing to do with Hartford



Maybe in the future I know a few years ago they were thinking of building over 600 feet tall apartment building... not too sure if that still going through, though.
