Houston has Hess Tower that has just topped off(~500 ft), MainPlace, the city's 15th tallest at 630 feet is under construction, Embassy Suites began construction late last year I think, and the 6 story Houston Ballet Center is topped off. All in all, I'd say there are about 6 or more active construction sites in Downtown, I listed the notable ones.
I know of the 25 story MD Anderson Administrative Support building under construction in the TMC as well.
Let's see, NYC has one of the biggest construction sites going on in the world right now: the Freedom tower. And I'm lucky enough to see its progress often, and can someday tell my future children I saw it get built.
I am lucky enough to see it under construction too! my future children will be so jealous.
