What are some skyscraper look-alikes that you know of? The two that always get me are Key Tower in Cleveland, and Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte. They are by the same architect, and the first time I drove through Charlotte I had to do a double take:

This was the first comparison that came to mind.
Another would be the Capitol Center in Columbia, SC and the Kroger headquarters tower in Cincinnati

I always thought the Aon Building in Chicago looked kinda like the World Trade in New York. The Aon is around 1,150 feet tall vs 1,350 for World Trade.
The Key Tower in Cleveland and BOA Center in Charlotte look alike for a reason. Any skyscraper from Cesar Pelli seems to resemble his other work. For example, his Goldman Sachs Tower in Jersey City isn't too far off from 2 IFC in Hong Kong. The top is different, but the skin is VERY similar as is the general shape. Another Example, One Canary Square in London and the WFC in New York City
The two that jumped out to me (not Pelli works) at first were the Prudential Tower in Chicago and 2 Liberty in Philadelphia.

Agree and the one right next to it looks like Liberty 2 in Philly IMHO
