New York City- thousands for high rise residential apts/coops/condos everywhere and around.
Chicago- 0.4 the scale of NYC imo
Miami/So Flo- Just everywhere on the shore, Brickell, DOwntown, its just all condos it seems.
San Francisco- Looks like a ton of high rises all ver the Bay Area.
Los Angeles- If not Downtown LA, sprinkled throughout the valleys. I remember just driving by high rise after high rise.
Boston- A sleeper. But tons of new ones, 5 years ago I wouldnt even put it in top 10. But from Downtown to Seaport to Back Bay/Fens to South End to Dorchester to Revere to Cambridge to Everett .. they coming in like hotcakes.
Houston- THis one is obvious, I see like 6 clusters of apt/condo high rises all around.
Seattle- SF 0.4, with more in the pipeline.
Atlanta- Between Midtown and Dunwoody and Downtown and between. Lots underway oto. Place is booming.
Philadelphia- WOuld have ranked higher than Bos, Atl, Sea, Hou a few years ago. But it seems like they outgrew PHL this decade. BUt the pipeline is massive so we shall see.
Washington DC- I feel I HAVE to put this here. Part perception, part fairness.

[quote=Joakim3;61311163]I actually have… multiple times. The VUe is 3 blocks west of the BoA Building in Fourth Ward and is a 5 minute walk away. It’s in downtown so what are you getting at? I never said Charlotte doesn’t have nice residential high-rises. I said it doesn’t have substantial amounts in South End or Dilworth, which… again.. it doesn’t.
This is a debate about quantity, not quality.
If we use Emporis (take the numbers with a grain of salt mind you) here’s the numerical count for buildings in between 35-100m
Minneapolis - 295
Denver - 276
St. Louis - 245
Baltimore - 217
SD - 207
Charlotte - 150
Take it how you want to[/QUOTE
This thread isn't about total high rises...its about total RESIDENTIAL high rises. If you know anything about Charlotte most of those total highrises are located in Uptown and the central core while in those other cities they are spread out through the cities. Between Uptown, and SouthEnd there are a good number of residential high rises...I digress...smh

What are your standards here? 15+ stories? 25+? Urban core only, or metro? I can't see Philly and a few of the others you have over DC in total residential high rises. I mean outside of CC/ Univ City, where are the residential high rises in the Philly area? DC/Arlington/Alexandria alone I'd bet have more than all of metro Philly. Talk about a massive pipeline, the DC area has had one of the deepest the last 10 years. If it's downtown core alone then obviously Philly though.

Actually this analysis is much better than your first list.
It has more reasoning and less feeling

San Antonio has a decent amount of highrise residential over 10 floors for a city not considered to have a significant amount. Not to shabby imo.
I wonder what cities would be comparable to San Antonio? Several other high rise residential towers are planned for the downtown area. San Antonio does rank 13th nationally for total amount of apartments built over the past decade.

Are you measuring this by core or metro? By core, I would completely rearrange. Either way, DC should be higher.
And I am going out on a limb (maybe I'm wrong), but I would wager that Center City + U City have more residential high-rises (15ish stories or higher), than all of the areas you mentioned in Atlanta. Remember, Philadelphia has residential high-rises over 100 years old, everything did not start 10 years ago. A full exploration reveals how many mid/high-rise residential buildings there are.
But both do have A LOT of residential mid/high-rise projects in the pipeline. Literally dozens of projects in each downtown area alone.
And expanding to entire metro is where some cities make up ground. Even Philadelphia's largest suburbs suffer from NIMBY-ism if a building is over 4 stories (similar to Boston), until lately.
