Not talking just about height or number of floors, but instead list the largest highrise in your city, by square footage . And any other interesting facts about it you want to throw in.
For the sake of defining a skyscraper, it's a little arbitrary but let's say it's anything above 500 feet.
In Pittsburgh, it's the U.S. Steel tower, with 2,300,000 sq. ft. on 64 floors, completed in 1971.
I didn't know this, but it's a bit larger than the Empire State building, and seems to be the largest in the US outside of NYC and Chicago. It also has the largest roof of any highrise in the world, at almost exactly 1 acre.
Bank of America Corporate Center is about 871 ft, but it's not the bulkiest in Charlotte. that honor goes to the Duke Energy Center, which is 786 ft, and covers about 1,558,883 sq ft, about 160,000 sq feet more than the BofA Corporate...
^ Empire State building is ~ 2.73 million square feet.
Wikipedia says its about 2.25 million. but I didn't bother to look around more. maybe the large number you have includes underground space or something.

This one down by the Battery — 55 Water St — isn’t well known, but Wiki calls it the second biggest in NYC after the Freedom Tower. It’s almost 700 ft tall and measures a total of 3.5 million sq. ft.
Within DC, the largest office structure is probably the Ronald Reagan Building: 3.1 million square feet and eight stories above ground.
Across the river is the Pentagon, at a mere five stories and... 6.5 million square feet. There there are plenty of single-story, ~1MSF regional malls in America, but just imagine five of those stacked up.
At least both of these are fairly compact in shape. During the 1960s, an era when the federal bureaucracy was rapidly expanding, the federal government contemplated building a block-wide, mile-long office building twice the size of the Pentagon.
555 California Street in SF has 1.9 Million sq ft. It is the former HQ of Bank of America and is now home to SFs Microsoft offices and would be Trump Tower in SF(he owns 30% ), it's his 2nd most valuable holding after Trump Tower itself.
