Which cities would you consider to have substantial high rise living? (places, skyscrapers)

The tallest two hi-rises in the south outside of Miami are in Austin. I believe 10 of the 12 tallest buildings in Austin are residential, the two highest are 690 and 683 feet pure residential towers. A new 30-story apt. tower, The Quincy, just opened in Austin.

Another 53-story tower received Austin planning commission approval a few months back - https://www.austinmonitor.com/storie...ney-high-rise/

The 33-story Natiivo opens later this year in ATX.

Isn't the soon to be new tallest in Austin the 74 story 98 Red River going to have residential in it as well?

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.

Houston and Dallas ranked with Pittsburgh, Baltimore, etc.?

Where are you getting your data on number of residential high rises from?

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

Fulton County is 200 square miles larger than the city of Dallas and has roughly 400k less people. It obviously has a lot more room for growth.

I’d add San Diego to the Tier B list for sure.

Apart from that this is pretty spot on

They do have a large amount of high-rises but it’s more to with their sheer size rather than lifestyle, structural density and or zoning.

I’m not following the point you’re trying to make.

Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Austin & Denver despite being smaller cities arguably build more residential high rises than Dallas & Houston despite those two being larger cities.

Not trying to come off as smartass, but what’s hard to understand?

Thanks for clarifying. It would be interesting to see numbers to support that claim. Houston and Dallas both have a large amount of residential high rises.

208 Jersey City 110

209 New Orleans 107

211 Hartford 103

212 Newark 100

What are the differences between living in highrise’s in these cities? Amenities in the building? Rooftop pools? Neighborhoods? How is one highrise different from another? In DC’s case, what is the difference between living in a 15 story highrise compared to the 30-40 story highrises in other cities? I’ve often wondered this when comparing living in Arlington VA versus inside DC. You can live on the 30th floor in Arlington VA, but only the 15th floor in DC. Maybe the view is the difference? Based on the OPs criteria, I think this thread is only about views.

Don't think he has any. I see a lot in here are just assuming stuff. Houston and DFW should clearly be with the group with Atlanta and Boston and above Pittsburgh, Denver etc
