Interesting thread. I also miss the Art Deco designs of days' past.

Not quite Art Deco, nor is it very tall, but I'm a fan of 50 Connaught Road Central in Hong Kong. Recently finished, designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects:

Here's another new addition taking its influence from the Art Deco structures of the past.

Pinnacle, Guangzhou, China. Just finished.

Interestingly enough, this building is ALSO by Robert A.M. Stern. Many of their towers take influence from the classical skyscraper architecture of the 1920s and 1930s.

One Park Tower (2008) - Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

People say this reminds them of an art deco building from the 1930s. It even has gargoyles on all four corners about 10 floors from the top. I don't think it is exactly what you are looking for here but I figured I'd post it anyways.

AH! It has been too long since checking in here!

I have to see the building from Frankfurt Germany is without a doubt perhaps THE best Neo ArtDeco building of the last 40 years. It doesn't just look art deco.. It has SOUL!
It has detail, care, art... The details in the brick work, the decorations in the crown, most neo-artdeco buildings either use cheap plaster and concreate in half hearted decorations, or skimp on them all together.

The residential building posted bellow is a good example...
It LOOKS somewhat artdeco, but it is still a mish-mash, and it just has bland lines, bland crown and no decorations what so ever...

This one's an inspiration from the Prewar buildings, blasted with modernism.

What year was it built? I've seen it in person and assumed it was built back in the day...

What about the tallest in Omaha? built in 2002?

I am a huge modernist/minimalist, and I usually can't stand postmodernism, but there are a few buildings I can truly consider neo-art deco.

Wells Fargo Center, Minneapolis
Guangzhou Pinnacle
That building in Frankfurt
Key Tower, Cleveland
99 Church Street, NY
and a few others...

What I find really irritating is that many postmodernist buildings use non-matching facade types, such as concrete and glass, and end up turning incredibly tacky and bland, and ruins the entire 'neo-art deco' title. For example, Liberty Place in Philadelphia and this hideous thing:


If only there were more architects that use real art deco elements, and not ugly blends of styles. I would be even MORE impressed if an architect would reintroduce 'neo-gothic' styles!

In Sacramento, we have the Plaza Park Tower (formerly US Bank Tower) which is a post modern design heavily influenced by art deco. Not quite the height you're looking for, but it's what Sac's got.
