Agreed. Multiple cities have a "midtown" or uptown or some sort of trendy district getting highrises outside the CBD....but I am ONLY INTERESTED IN AT LEAST THREE MILES FROM CITY HALL of the MSA core city.
Louisville has a proposal 3.5 miles from downtown for THREE, 350 foot scrapers....however it was recently knocked down to one, 250 foot scraper and a massive ten story building all around.
Cleveland/suburbs have 13 residential towers of at least 200 feet that would fit the criteria. Of those, 10 are in the suburbs, including the two tallest ... Lake Park Tower in East Cleveland that is 27 stories and 330 feet, and Crystal Tower 24 stories 270 feet, also in East Cleveland.
The tallest in the city outside of downtown is One University Circle at 233 feet and 20 stories.
Residential high rises over 200 feet by city (non-downtown):
1. Euclid (5)
2. Cleveland (3)
3. East Cleveland (2)
4. North Olmsted (2)
5. Lakewood (1)
Its shocking that Lakewood only has one since overall it has about as many high rises as all the other suburbs combined.
Currently, the Skyhouse in Nashville's Midtown, 1 mile from downtown is the tallest at 25 floors and 289'. There is another residential building going up on West End a little further away which will be 25 floors and 299'.

Plenty of cities have these heights 1 mile from downtown, including Louisville.
What building is over 250 to 300 ft ALL RESIDENTIAL AT LEAST THREE MILES FROM CITY HALL?
Here is a complete list of Louisville's tallest buildings, that indicate if they're residential. You can Google any city in the US, and Wikipedia will have a list like this, for each city. Nice for comparing.

It's over 3 miles from downtown, and closer to 300 ft, not 262. Additionally, there's several highrises, many over 6-8 floors, which line Cherokee Park. Very few people know this about Louisville, but it's like a "baby" Central West End from STL. Probably more grandiose in ways because there is upscale neighborhoods for miles all around. This is one of the areas which make Louisville such a special city for a MSA under 2 M.
You see, that's one of the problems with you city data kids. Thinking everything can be found on google when it really can't! That wiki link you posted honestly leaves off a dozen residential highrises in Louisville, maybe more!
There's several other missing too, and I mean several. Off the top of my head Brown Suburban Condos, Icon apartment tower, and several others are over 10 stories and all residential.
This list also doesnt include several Louisville suburbs with highrises. Then there is the George Condos, at around 11 stories. How about the Glenveiw? https://www.emporis.com/buildings/13...isville-ky-usa
157 feet for the Glenview and probably 6 plus miles from city hall. And that's if Emporis height estimate is correct
Honestly Louisville has, at minimum 4-5 other buildings at least this big I cannot think of right now. Even Jeffersonville, IN has a couple.
For example, New Albany has Riverview Towers, which is at least 183ft without its spire. https://www.emporis.com/statistics/t...-albany-in-usa
At over 5 miles from downtown, its taller than many of these cities residential as is like Albuquerque.
Here is Louisville's newest residential highrise opened this year...it isn't super tall, maybe 8 stories, but probably well north of 100 feet:

None of these additions change anything much, though. Just rearranges middle or lower height buildings around, a little. Counting buildings that aren't built, would not apply, as every city has those.
Unfortunately, 12 of the 13 were built in the 60s or 70s (and two are public housing towers ... and there is at least one, maybe a second 200 foot public housing tower I didn't count because even though not in downtown, still within 3 miles).
On the bright side, One University Circle, which was completed a couple years ago, was the first residential high rise (15 stories plus) built anywhere in Cuyahoga County since that high rise boom of the 60s and 70s. It has been followed up with the 355-foot Beacon and the 396-foot Lumen which are both under construction (both in downtown). Plus, there are a couple more in the 200 to 400 range in the works for downtown.
And there is a ton of mid-rise buildings (5 to 11 stories) that have been recently built, are under construction or are going through the approval process in Ohio City, University Circle/Little Italy, Detroit-Shoreway, Flats, so progress is being made in rebuilding the neighborhoods.

Actually Crittenden apts between the Flats East and WHD is 17 stories and was built in 1994.
Interestingly both Lakewood's Winton Place ("... tallest apt between New York and Chicago") and East Cleveland's Lake Park Tower ("... tallest apartment building in Ohio") claim local height supremacy. Which one is right?
btw, many props to Lake Park Tower for hanging in as a quality property despite the obvious and serious deterioration of its East Cleveland home around it. LPT is one of the few assets East Cleveland has and, frankly, I'm rather stunned they've been able to maintain, and still attract well-paid working professionals who want to live there. It's a bit of a fortress somewhat isolated from the rest of EC perched on the Superior Ave hillside into the Heights with those commanding Lake Erie and downtown views. The building is massive. Let's hope the building's managers keep it on the up-and-up.
... btw, East Cleveland's Crystal Tower is also maintaining quality as well... Good for them...
