Jersey City has a skyline?

News to me. Frankly, I'd say both Des Moines and Omaha (both in the Central Plains second tier, behind KC and St. Louis) top Jersey City in that department.

I don't know if it deserves #12 in the country, but it definitely has a skyline: https://flic.kr/p/2axR57u.

It would be interesting to do secondary skylines, outside of easy walking distance from the main skyline.

Brooklyn (just barely far enough away)
Jersey City

A section or two of Miami outside its core

Bellevue
Buckhead
Century City
Long Island City
Newark

etc.

This is a good list. I'd probably move Charlotte higher and Houston lower, but otherwise I agree!

All of the tall buildings are in JC. The short buildings in the foreground are in Hoboken & Weehawken, but they're not part of any "skyline."

The tallest one under construction in that photo is 99 Hudson. Completed a year or two ago. The problem with finding pics of JC's skyline is getting ones that are current. There are a couple of 40+ story buildings topped out now that aren't in that photo, and a recently-completed 72-story building up in Journal Square that would be outside the range of this photo anyway.

Hard to get current photos of JC but there are some background shots on skyscrapercity.
