These last two video are airplane landing videos. The first is from 2010 and the 2nd video is from 2018. You’ll see that majority of the growth has occurred in Uptown. The 2010 video shows the Downtown/Uptown area before Klyde Warren Park (which is U/C in the video),a deck park over Woodall Rodgers Fwy. The 2018 video shows many of the newly completed highrises in Uptown/Downtown and Klyde Warren Park, which helped spark much of the growth. That 5 acre park over Woodall Rodgers Fwy has been so successful, that it is going to be expanded...covering more of the fwy. The park attracts 1 million visitors a year.
Boston hasn't had the most towers added but it has had a lot of 250-400 foot tall towers added that bulk up some previously sparser areas as well as some much taller towers although only a few of those. The biggest change though is that the skyline now extends all the way to North Station with more buildings to come over the next few years in the 250 to 650 foot range. The skyline has also moved west with the Pierce tower in Fenway and more towers proposed for the Kenmore Square/Bu campus area. I don't know that it has changed the most but it has changed a lot.
Some videos of the Bulfinch Triangle area development.

Thanks. It’s not the greatest skyline but I think it’s pretty solid.
Someone gave me a rep point and said this...(click the attached photo). I guess they wanted to say this anonymously LMAO. BTW thanks for the rep...whoever you are
Chicago is LOSING population, so I don't see that as sustainable.
?? The highrises being built for the modern economy aren't being built in the hard off areas on the south and west sides of the city that people are leaving, they're being built downtown. That area is booming with tens of thousands of new residents and over 134,000 new jobs downtown since 2010.
Since 2000 the city has added 133,647 new residential units, 50,685 of those were added since 2010 and over 35,000 new residential units have been built in the city the past few years when the population losses were recorded. A majority of those new units were in highrises downtown.
Chicago highrises built since 2000:
221 buildings over 200 feet tall
189 buildings over 250 feet tall
148 buildings over 300 feet tall
121 buildings over 350 feet tall
46 buildings over 500 feet tall
9 of the top 20 tallest buildings have been added since 2000.
53% of the 40 tallest buildings have been added since 2000.
40% of the buildings over 300 feet tall have been added since 2000.
As the city has a history of being one of the very first to even built tall buildings and having been known for it for well over 100 years, it's certainly made quite an impact that a full 40% of all buildings over 300 feet and over half of the top 40 buildings have been built just since 2000.
There are currently around three dozen highrises currently under construction in the city.
Per Emporis here are the number of highrises built over 300 feet in these cities since 2000. It's hard to sort and count without a subscription so I just used 300 feet since it made counting rational to do so (except you NYC, omg).

Suburban development really takes a toll on core cities like Dallas. Those suburban campuses are still widely popular. Houston too, but it has the benefit of more skylines in the city. Downtown, uptown, TMC, energy corridor, westchase, Greenway, Greenspoint/North Belt, that area around the west belt, now midtown, the heights, Montrose, Kirby, Binz are all developing little skylines too.
Anyway, Dallas Fort Worth had had crazy growth the last 9 years. The downtown area of Dallas (not uptown) just doesn't reflect how much of a boom the metro has had.
To me Seattle has had the most striking change to me simply because there was a large gap between visits. I visit Austin consistently so the change isn't as cumulative to me as Seattle was.
