The question is such cities have the most residential highrises that are 15 floors or higher in the core.
Where does DC have all these residential hirises in the core? Again DC is just tying up this thread. DC doesn't deserve mention in this particular topic. It's a square peg that yall are trying to ram down a round hole
It may be worse than that. I think that the ask in the OP was which cities have the most substantial number of apartments available 15 floors and higher. So you ignore floors 1-14 and only count the amount of apartments available on floor 15 and higher. Five buildings 20 stories tall (5 buildings x 6 floors at 15 or greater) would be the same as one 45 story building.
If that's true, for the US we're once again down to NYC, Chicago, miami, and who cares.

Washington DC has 15 story buildings first of all, so again you're wrong. Although most do their topping out around 13/14 in many areas, but some high rises in DC fit the description. Arlington also is the part of the urban core of DC metro area, and original District land, with high rise buildings with views of the entire region. You guys can try to filter DC out of whatever threads you want to, but facts are facts, what's not is not.

I don't recall anything above 20 stories in Bethesda... Looked more like midrises around 12-15 floors.
Ditto to Silver Springs. I mean, I know there are some, but definitely not in high numbers... And to make such a claim that As a metro DC smashes anything not named NYC, Chicago or Miami (assuming we aren’t counting Toronto & Vancouver)" is kind of outlandish.
If including Canada, first of all, not only Toronto and Vancouver, but also Montreal trounces the DC metro. Probably Calgary too.
What about Seattle? LA?
Yea Silver Spring now has a 26 story apt building that is still topping out on construction actually now, but already helped shape the skyline:
Bethesda has MULTIPLE, and I mean multiple high rise residential buildings over 15 floors either newly constructed or breaking ground soon. The tallest being planned at the moment 314 ft, around 28 floors at least. Bethesda is coming for the #2 crown in the DMV for high rises soon, Tysons and Reston will have to keep up.

Idk about that, Houston didn't have that many in the 15 range. 20 to 45 floors is where the majority falls

The Rice 18 floors no podium
The Star 16 floors no podium

LA Colombe D'or residential 34 floors
Aspire Post Oak 39 floors
I'm kinda tired looking up all these buildings individually, and I have just scratched the surface. I might look up more tomorrow, but Houston has a ton more residential hirises that are 20 plus floors.
Not necessarily.
You would be assuming it is a complete list.
You don't realize the share number until you start building the list and realize how many there really is.
Just because I gave up doesn't mean coming up with a good list isn't possible
Secondly we are not discussing which cities have too many too count.. the op asked for which city has a substantial amount in the core, not which cities have too many to list
I agree with you on both points.
I am sorry if I sounded snappy, but the city limits argument is so overplayed it really gets annoying. It's like people are implying that the condos are spread all over the city limits when they are in a few neighborhoods.
I am in agreement that Arlington can be considered DC's core, what I do not agree with is that DC's core has that many hirises. I understand the Metro argument but the OP narrowed it down to core areas so I don't know why people are extending it to metro for page after page
So what is "core"? Whatever atadytic decides? (Sorry, my turn to get snappy )
Uptown Houston is about 7 miles from Downtown. So is Buckhead from Downtown Atlanta. I take it you consider these to be part of Houston's and Atlanta's core... right? Then why not Bethesda, Silver Spring and Alexandria -- they are the same distance from Downtown DC.
Just because sunbelt cities have vastly inflated city limits doesn't mean they have larger cores. If anything, one could argue that DC has a bigger core given that it's a denser urban area with superior public transit.
The point is you need to have a clear methodology based on objective data and not your subjective feelings... otherwise it's pointless to have this discussion.
