  1. USA cities whose tallest building is residential

    Identified below at American cities whose tallest building is a residential structure. The list provided below does not include mixed use towers such as hotel/residential or office/residential. A minimum height of 175 feet was required for inclusion. States most represented on the list include the following (listed by number cities vs. towers):

    • Florida = 16 cities
    • New Jersey = 7 cities
    • Illinois = 6 cities
    • Michigan = 5 cities
    • New York = 4 cities or boroughs

    The tallest residential structures on the list range in location from traditional downtowns, midtowns, first-ring suburbs, outer suburbs, college towns, and vacation/retirements cities. Some of the cities fall into multiple categories like Ann Arbor which falls into three classifications as a college town with a traditional downtown and a distant Detroit suburb.

    It is also interesting to note that there was quite a gap between development boom times for such buildings in American cities. As the list shows, there were boomlets just before the Great Depression, during the Urban Renewal period of the 1960s/1970s, the early 2000s just before the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, and now during the 2020s. Hopefully, the current booklet will not end as disastrously as those three.

  5. USA cities whose tallest building is residential

    Identified below at American cities whose tallest building is a residential structure. The list provided below does not include mixed use towers such as hotel/residential or office/residential. A minimum height of 175 feet was required for inclusion. States most represented on the list include the following (listed by number cities vs. towers):

    • Florida = 16 cities
    • New Jersey = 7 cities
    • Illinois = 6 cities
    • Michigan = 5 cities
    • New York = 4 cities or boroughs

    The tallest residential structures on the list range in location from traditional downtowns, midtowns, first-ring suburbs, outer suburbs, college towns, and vacation/retirements cities. Some of the cities fall into multiple categories like Ann Arbor which falls into three classifications as a college town with a traditional downtown and a distant Detroit suburb.

    It is also interesting to note that there was quite a gap between development boom times for such buildings in American cities. As the list shows, there were boomlets just before the Great Depression, during the Urban Renewal period of the 1960s/1970s, the early 2000s just before the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, and now during the 2020s. Hopefully, the current booklet will not end as disastrously as those three.

  22. With COVID ‘Closer than it appears’ in the rear-view mirror, I find it extraordinary that in urban environments where local green space is rarely available, new condos are going in without individual units having their own balcony / terrace / patio.
    The ability to get ‘out’ - for mental and physical reasons (and especially when living in postage stamp sized spaces) without affecting yourself and others - should not be overlooked or understated.

    Some of it is an hotel which is great to see but if the rest is built with very small condo sizes it will be a hard sell on the current market.

  28. Tbh, this is more abt developers having too much design + engineering control (ego driven).

    They find weak, mediocre A/Es & bully them into downgrading safety measures/decisions bc of $$.

    So they get the lawsuits & defects they deserve.
    Is why insurance cos don’t like #condos.

    Florida condo owners fight back after facing $3,000 hike in fees each month amid real estate crisis

    Truth

    Maintenance and repairs ignored for decades to save a few dollars now add up to 1000s .

    Same as Climate Change. The bill is past due.
