  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.

    Peace!

  12. You must have a positive vision to make lasting change in cities. Mandates alone won’t do it. You can see this in the S.D. suburb of San Marcos, which is meeting state mandates for #housing … but not because of the mandates. It’s because San Marcos had already embraced a vision that welcomed more and different kinds of housing. That vision: We need a brand-new downtown. voiceofsandiego.org/2026/04/02 #suburbs

  13. It challenges our thinking about cities and #suburbs, but suburbs are increasingly the place poor people live. In these suburbs, there’s a huge scandal hiding in plain sight: families trapped in extended-stay motels. It will take many reforms to put an end to this scandal, but we must start by understanding why it happens. Here’s a primer. atlantaciviccircle.org/extende #affordablehousing
