What is your city greatest cancelled (or signifcantly scaled back) project/building/etc? Please give the specifications of the project as well, just to put in perspective how large it was supposed to be.
For Baltimore I would say 10 Inner Harbor, it was to be 59 floors and would have been the tallest from Philly to Charlotte. It would have been 1.5 million sq ft, would have included office, residential and retail space.
For Kansas City it would be a the One KC Place development which only built 2 of 8 towers that were supposed to go up before the real estate crash in the late 1980's. A 42 story tower was built, but the 65 and 55 story towers were not.
Another big project was the Sailors project which was near the plaza district. It included several towers one as high as 57 stories, but neighborhood opposition finally killed it.
for atlanta i would say THE GULCH being built out and made a transportation hub, and the rest of the ivan allen plaza development. Aerotropolis by the airport hopefully will get built.
If I remember correctly, the Wells Fargo Center in Minneapolis was supposed to about 200 feet taller. IDS was supposed to have a larger Twin Tower. But the biggest project that didn't get built in any capacity or incarnation is probably the Nicollet.
If memory serves, it was supposed to be 600+ feet tall.
St. Paul at one point, long, loooong time ago, had a space needle planned, too.
