Best Ohio Skyline In Ohio? (Cincinnati, Toledo: insurance, tenant, floors)

[JustinBucks]

My favorite skyline would have to be Cincinnati - it's beautiful when you're in Newport (KY side). The colors are great and I love the dense look; something Columbus, Toledo, and Cleveland don't have.

Cleveland is really nice they have some of the tallest in ohio and the water makes the front beautiful. Cincinnati is a different story the hills, bridges and the river makes the dense downtown very beatiful also!

all 3 cities have a signature older building,carew,terminal tower, and leveque..and cleveland has the height advantage.cincy has the best view from the south but from the north east and west the skyline isnt that impressive to be honest due to the lack of overall height.buildings over 400 feet tall:
cleveland 10(4 over 500)
columbus 10(5 over 500)
cincy 7(2 over 500)
if all of columbus tall buildings were contained in the area the size of downtown cincy..columbus might have the most impressive skyline..they are just spread out too far to give the impression of density.

Columbus has a nice collection of residential highrises, outside of that, the skyline is extremely plain besides LeVeque. And Cincinnati's skyline is extremely impressive from just about any angle, especially the north. It is nice and dense, and the foreground of the skyline with neighborhoods like Pedelton and OTR just add so much more to the cityscape.

Im going to have to be honest i think our skyline looks terrible coming from the north it just looks really small. Coming from the death hill on kentucky side is really nice it shows cincinnati height and it shows all the buildings.

Agreed. Columbus has numerous tall and beautiful buildings that would stand out even more if they were grouped closer together. What I enjoy is driving into the city at night from the south on I-71. Very impressive.

I still think kenwoods syline still beats all the 3cs.!

(This post should have been connected to the #216 reply.) While Cincinnati's skyline, generally concealed by its surrounding hills, emerges quickly with great effect once you get near it (the best example being the descent down I-75 in Ky. through the "Cut in The Hill"), Columbus' skyline delights from afar, no matter which way the city is approached, day or night. (for example, seeing the city appear miles and miles away as you venture northward along I-71) Really neat!

I heard that cincinnati is planning another high rise downtown. It has just been approved cant wait. Downtown is getting even denser and nice!

Yes, I've heard of it, but not really sure of any more details. Apparently, though, it won't be as tall as Great American Building, but it should definitely make the skyline look even better!
