A few North American cities are experiencing a >600' (183 m) tall apartment boom: NYC, Chi, Tor, Miami, Austin, etc.. Some other big cities haven't even started: Houston, Dallas, Phil, Marfa, etc.. Haven't the majority of taller skyscrapers built in the last few years been apartment or mixed use instead of just office? I remember when Lake Point Tower in Chicago was the only pure apartment building >600' (183 m) tall. Houston may be oversaturated with office towers now and developers don't seem interested in building residences taller than mid-forties in floors, so I don't see Houston on the list for a while.

chicago's recent skyscraper building boom has been pretty evenly mixed.

starting in 2017, chicago has built 11 new towers over 600' tall (including U/C).

5 are office towers.

5 are residential towers.

1 is a mixed-use residential/hotel tower.
