Houston has some nice new tall towers though.
Houston has areas with multiple (more than 5) within walking distance from each other, they are just not lining a main drag like peachtree.

You said you were in Uptown, I can think of:

Highland
Wilshire
Belfiore
Arabella
Willowick
Park Square
Montebello
Houston Estates
Woodway
Montebello
Astoria
Cosmopolitan
Four leaf
Manhattan
Hanover Post Oak
Texas
St James
Oxford
Mercer

This are just the ones I can think of.
There are tons more that are not 15 plus floors and Iam sure that Iam missing some that are 15 plus.

There are a many in the Museum District - UK area
And as many in the Montrose- River Oaks area

There are clusters Downtown and more along Allen Parkway. Midtown was previously a midrise strong hold but hirise condos are starting to pop up there too

Atlanta most definitely fits the bill.

Video of a friend's friend who is studying in Atlanta from Korea and living in a highrise in midtown (Studio for $1650 a month). It's all in Korean but you can get a feel of studio living.

Atlanta is basically the only Sunbelt city taking it’s fair share of metro growth.

NYC - Tier A+++



Chicago - Tier A++
Miami


San Fran - Tier A+

Philadelphia - Tier A
Boston
Seattle
Atlanta
DC


Pittsburgh - Tier B
Austin
Baltimore
Dallas
Houston
Denver



This pretty much sums it up... each category no city is listed above or below they all kind of fill into the same class of density/projects and "apartment dwellings"..



In terms of high rise luxury condos that are 25+ stories...

I believe the only cities that have any substantial market are:

NYC
Chicago
Miami
LA
Boston
San Fran
Philadelphia
Seattle
Atlanta

In that order...

DC would if it did not have height restrictions.

Charlotte grew 20.2% Metro Charlotte 19.6%.

So Atlanta is a city really outpacing it’s metro in the South. Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Charlotte, And others are not.

Let's not be shifty with stats here.
Percentages work when you are comparing things of similar quantity.
Atlanta city has what 400k people?
Houston has 2,300 k people?

A 20% increase for Atlanta means 80k, while Houston 10% means 250K. So we are not measuring the same thing.

Atlanta city is the smallest city of all the cities you mentioned so a proportional increase is going to have a higher percentage than the others.

2nd you throw out a few cities to try to support the argument but failed to include the faster growing cities.

Or is the implication that the cities you mentioned are the only sunbelt cities?
Where is Austin? Orlando? And dozens of other sunbelt cities growing faster than Atlanta.

I mean if you have stats for 100 sq miles for Atlanta and want to compare it to 100 sq miles for other cities you might be able to make a point.

But 20% of 400k is not more than 10% of 2,300k. That's just deceptive stats

Fine, Fulton County grew by 17.7% and is easily comparable to most city limits. Still faster than the metro as a whole.

Also Orland grew faster than Atlanta but slower than its metro 20.6% vs 23.3%
