Figured since I took the time to write this, its relevant to NY supertalls...
Just copying it from the CPT thread.

The city (NY) has:

Quite impressive.
Right now, the U.S. has 19 super talls complete. Note I said complete. China on the otherhand has 60 super talls. There are 2,632 towers over 100m in the U.S. as a whole. China as a reference has 2,334. So even though our rate of adding new towers is not as high, we still as a country excel in that category. If we add all the U.S. projects u/c, pound for pound, we are a skyscraper nation in a way.
AND BY A BIG MARGIN TOO.
Japan as a reference, #3, has 478 towers over 100m+.
Now in terms of NYC, we have complete:
1) 1 WTC
2) 432 Park
3) ESB
4) Bank of America
5) Chrysler Building
6) NY Times
7) One57
Under construction we have:
1) CPT
2) 111 W 57th
3) 1 Vanderbilt
4) 30 Hudson
5) 9 Dekalb
6) Verre
7) 45 Broad
8) 3 WTC
9) 35 Hudson
10) 1 MW
11) 50 Hudson
Whats going to start very soon:
1) Spiral
2) 247 Cherry (in 2019)
3) 262 Fifth Avenue
4) 3 Hudson (I believe)
So yeah... busy times! I have a feeling I'm missing something, so if I am, let me know. Can't think of it now.
NOW... can you imagine what our statistics would look like if we weren't such a sprawl nation. If a large chunk of residents and businesses where in the cities instead. Yeah... I know... it sucks to think about.
