Every one of these was built in the past 20 years.

from yuri's recent thread about brazilian cities, i learned that brazil now has 3 towers over 800' in a city named Balneario Camboriu (which i'd never heard of before).
i guess it's sorta like brazil's version of Benidorn, ie. a relatively small resort city with a disproportionately large beachfront skyline.
2 were just completed this year, and the 3rd is U/C and topped out, and according to the CTBUH they also have some supertalls planned there as well.
so to update your list of western hemisphere 800+ footers outside of the US/canada:
Panama City: 6
Balneario Camboriu: 2 + 1UC
Mexico City: 2
Monterrey: 1 + 1UC
San Pedro Garza Garcia (Monterrey): 1
Santiago: 1
