There are at least a dozen buildings (or two?) that high outside of those cities just off the top of my head. Most were built a while ago though.

i don't want to take this too far off topic, but nearly 70% of the 800+ footers in the US are in either NYC or chicago, so IMO, that does make them relatively rare outside of those two cities.

NYC: 39

Chicago: 17
