Seattle has the demand, but zoning greatly prohibits where they can build tall condo towers. If they were allowed to build skyscrapers around all the light rail stations, the demand is definitely there.
Yeah saw that also - also Arlington VA ranks very high - a top 20 among high rises in total - though none very tall - now almost as many high rises as Baltimore
For some reason Jersey City not on the list? They build 11 buildings above 30+ storeys in that period. But I am guessing the list is only for principal locations in the metro area and doesn't include highrises built in suburbs?
Wow, LA was really in the doldrums of highrise construction from 2000-2013...only 13 completed in that period. I count double that under construction at the same time right now with dozens more in the pipeline.
Wilshire Grand (73 stories)
820 Olive (50 stories)
888 Olive (32 stories)
Fig Central (49 stories, 40 stories, 40 stories)
Metropolis (58 stories, 40 stories, 38 stories, 19 stories)
10000 Santa Monica Blvd (40 stories)
888 S Hope (33 stories)
Columbia Square (20 stories)
1050 S Grand (24 stories)
Mack Urban Pico&Grand (37 stories)
3033 Wilshire (18 stories)
737 S Spring (24 stories)
1200 S Figueroa (36 stories x2)
The Acadamy (23 stories)
Twelfth and Flower (40 stories, 31 stories)
Hollywood Palladium Residences (28 stories x2)
Same with Philly but curious as to why they would use floor count instead of height in feet or meters since some 15 floor buildings in Philly are taller than many 18 floor buildings.... but okayyyyy.
In Philly there have been 5 buildings over 18 stories finished since June 2013. There are 7 currently under construction, and 11 entering construction within the next few months or already in site prep. And, as of right now, 17 more proposed.

I pulled those of of SkyscraperCity LA forum. I figured people would care more about floor counts- I know I do. But feel free to look up the heights there if you're curious. I think some of the threads list them.

Oh, I wasn't doubting you.
I was just curious as to why the article posted that you quoted was using floor count as a metric.
Buildings with lower floor counts can be taller than buildings with higher floor counts.
For instance, Philadelphia City Hall is only 9 floors but 548 feet tall. So therefore is this not included in their highrise metric?
The Philadelphia US Customs House is only 17 floors but 287 feet. And the new Philadelphia Family Court Building is 15 floors and 265 feet tall.
Yet 1900 Rittenhouse Square is 18 floors but only 190 feet tall.
I would think they would use a 250 or 300 feet tall as a barometer. But using floor count is a flawed metric.
