^ that looks like it will be a good project for downtown KC, but it isn't really apropos to the subject of this thread abut the recent dearth in our region of truly tall skyline-redefining buildings being built.

25 story condo towers are great, and all downtowns benefit from the construction of such projects, which bring people and their money to the city core to create more urban life and vibrancy. however, my point in creating this thread was to show how the nationwide skyscraper building booms of the 80s/early 90s and of the past 14 years greatly differed with regard to the construction of really tall buildings in Midwestern cities.
