Which MSA has the most major projects coming up: ATL, HOU, DAL, L.A., Seattle, D.C., Philly, Bos, San Fran, or Chi? (live, place)

[odurandina]

just a construction update for Boston;


proposed/ or approved but, currently held up

1. Midwood Investment/Bromfield Street diagonally across from Millenium Tower likely to seek in range of 625-740 feet.

2. Harbor Garage/Don Chiofaro 52 stories 600 feet/900,000 sq ft limit/BRA now doing an end around Chiofaro, speaking with Prudential.

3. Equity Residential North Station/a.k.a. Garden Garage/Boston Garden Tower 4 was 46 stories; proposal now sits @ 44 stories 447 feet (after 2 height reductions)

^^^This project is going to be approved - unfortunately, it's looking like it may occur after yet another height reduction (the 3rd). The once planned +540 foot tower may need to be renamed Stubby Garden Tower 4 to go along with the other 3 medium height towers, but will form a decent shoulder infill where the skyline meets the Zakim Bridge.

4. 380 Stewart Street/John Hancock Tower #3 26 stories 380 feet (more infill).

5. BACK BAY STATION probably will be two 380~500 foot towers.

6. South Bay Tower; hopeful we will see a tower make an impact at this site in the next 5-10 years; (perhaps during a phase that sees many 180~260 foot appartment buildings in Roxbury, Fenway, Jamaica Plain, etc)...


approved, under-construction, topped, +/- cladding or completed;

1. 111 Federal Street/Winthrop Garage 740-780 feet (BRA gave tacit approval for "very tall..." currently weighing multiple redevelopment proposals)

2. 1 Dalton Street/Four Seasons 61 stories 755 Feet (under comstruction)

3. Millennium Tower 55 stories 685 feet (topped + cladding completed)

4. Copley Place Tower 52 stories 625~650 feet (w/ mechanical screen, in early construction phase)

5. SOUTH STATION 41 stories 621~650 feet (has BRA approval w/ many question marks regarding the timetable and track expansion)

6. Government Center (cylindrical) office tower 38 stories 528 feet + mechanical screen/crown spire (has BRA approval to reach 600 feet. screen/spire could top at that height or go slightly over.

7. TD Garden Tower 1 (office tower) 33 stories 495 feet (BRA approved)

8. TD Garden Tower 2 (resident tower) 45 stories 486 feet (has BRA approval for 1 tower to reach 600 feet)

9. Government Center (residential) Tower 45 stories 480 feet [mechanical screen could put the roof at +540 feet.(BRA approved)]

10. Avalon North Station/121 Nashua Street 38 stories 450 feet (topped w/cladding a few weeks away)

11. 40 Trinity Place 33 stories 400 feet at the roof (approved; construction to commence shortly)

12. The Point Fenway 30 stories 344~365 feet (under construction)

13. 45 Stewart St/AVA Theatre District 29 stories 336 feet (completed/occupancy near full)

14. Radian Boston 26 stories ~300 feet (completed/occupancy over 50%)

also about a dozen towers 260~320 foot range are likely to go up, approved, under construction, or near completion;

^^^ Very impressive Boston!! But I am sure many other great cities are also very hot as well

[T. Damon]

Article a couple of days ago in the San Diego Union Tribune (local paper) points to over $6.4B in 63 projects either under construction, approved or under review right now in Centre City, representing over 40% of the area's existing assessed value.

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...2da96-84105021

The city is popping! Especially noticeable because of the compact nature of downtown (Centre City), 1,600 acres. We don't get many high rises because of our airport's downtown location and FAA regulations capping us at 500 feet, as well as strict coastal regulations, but the many mid-rise and the few high rises are certainly changing the density and skyline of the city.

There are a few dozen more buildings in the 100'-250' range (mostly on the shorter side of that range), that are part of the Giants development in Mission Bay and the Park Merced, Treasure Island, and Hunters Point redevelopment projects, but because they're part of larger projects that haven't started yet, It's hard to find detailed info on individual buildings.

1. One Rincon Hill north tower - 541'
2. 350 Mission - 455'
3. 45 Lansing - 450'
4. 100 Van Ness - 420' (office tower converted to residential, it got competely stripped down to the frame)

8. Nema tower 2 - 260'
9. 1285 Sutter - 13 stories
10. Foundry Square III - 10 stories

I've probably missed a few projects, but I'm pretty sure that's 99% of them. Of course there are hundreds of lowrises and midrises in the works as well, not to mention big projects like the central subway and Transbay Terminal.

Great comprehensive list. All of these cities are booming

Agreed. NYC, Chicago, LA, Houston, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, DC, etc. etc. are all booming. Really every major city in the US has some major construction projects going on right now. The economy is doing well and it's nice to see

[Chicago60614]

I'm impressed with the parks and civic events happening around downtown Chicago, not just the highrises. It's going to be much different in a year or two.

These are projects either wrapping up or involved in construction. I don't like proposals as much because who knows if they will happen. I like to see what's happening NOW.

Riverwalk extension. A three block extension opened last year, and another three block extension opens this spring, creating an uninterrupted path the entire length of the loop and all the way out to Navy Pier and the lakefront trail. Kayak rentals, bands, restaurants, bars, wine shop, etc.
