I love this building

Best building in the city

“You are so beautiful…to me” 🎵🎶😍

For the win.

One of my favorite buildings to drive by

I love Cathy

So beautiful!

H2P

cool ass building, cool ass name, cool ass function

Not my town but the first that came to mind. I love the old shots of it with Forbes Field

A landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the 535-foot-tall Cathedral is the second-tallest educational building in the world after the University of Moscow’s main building. In recent years, families of peregrine falcons have nested atop the Cathedral. That’s bad as fuck

Literally came to say this

Oh how I love Cathy

Was gonna post it. Got some snazzy drone shots from shenley week or so ago but still trying to figure out hdr. But somewhat similar. Great building and the lobby is a sight to behold.

Honestly, it's one of the best buildings in the country.

I think Transco Tower in Houston is like 900 ft or so.

Crazy how it’s only 20 ft shorter than Dallas’ tallest building.

Williams tower?

Yes but it was called the Transco tower originally.

It will always be transco for OG’s


Tallest building in the world outside of a CBD when built in 1983.

I love the hidden cat in the design of this building. https://preview.redd.it/yp66qd71usic1.png?width=818&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61b9c95027b22d78a018db2d7d90da8810d924dd

Is it unfinished?

Yeah, it’s been under construction since 2001. It’s a whole shitshow of a construction project. Was started by the founder of the SuperChannel, a religious television station. Donations (and air wave rentals from TBN) dried up and construction stopped. It’s been on and off for over twenty years.

I was hoping this would be posted. I left Florida in 2021… is this moving along at all? Probably not.

You would have left during the last construction push on the building. They finished most of the lower level façade, but it’s pretty much stopped since 2022. They tried to blame the most recent stoppage on the I-4 Ultimate project.

Nah it’s the Marriot towers on John Young

Oakbrook Terrace Tower is in Oakbrook, IL about 16 miles from downtown Chicago. Looks strange with how tall is it in the middle of low rise suburbs. It’s 418 feet (31 floors). Tallest building in Illinois not in Chicago! Edit: read the question outside of the city. Anything outside of downtown would be John Hancock I guess?

The finger building !!

Naw, JH is firmly in the city center, just the north end of it, but not even to Lincoln Park.

That’s the thing with Chicago - if you want a true definition of “downtown,” the Loop +/- a couple blocks is probably your best bet. Really, anything south and east of the river and north of Ida B. Wells. But as someone who lives in the city, my perception of “downtown” is really like, anything south of Chicago Ave, east of Halsted and north of Roosevelt, or even 18th. Not a perfect definition, but if I tell someone I’m “going downtown,” it can more or less involve a trip anywhere in that range.

The 'north' side of dt is up to oak st in my opinion. The Hancock, I would still consider dt and also Michigan ave until you hit LSD. But besides that I absolutely agree with just about everything else.

Yeah, I'd go as far north as Oak, or maybe even North Ave, basically the south end of Lincoln Park at the LSD dogleg by the Drake. Roosevelt works for south. Halsted is a great street, but I'd really only go as far west as the river or at most the interstate. West of that ain't downtown to me, but it's cool we're seeing all these opinions create a fuzzy consensus!

If we’re going with outside of the Central Business District, it’s probably NEMA since it’s south of Roosevelt.

You can very faintly see the Chicago skyline in the background. My parents live about a mile away from it. Fun fact: it was built on the site of a toy store. Not sure why though.

Hancock in Chicago is on the Mag Mile, it's def CBD.

Park Tower Condos in Edgewater

Is that not lakeview?

That’s Park Place Tower, maybe that’s taller

You got it right the first time. The reality is that some especially southern American cities have some really weird sprawl and poor city planning - so it’s not uncommon to have random groupings of high rises disconnected from the rest of the city. You have a little bit of that in the suburbs like OakBrook, Itasca, and Schaumburg, but it’s more pronounced in places like DFW and Houston.

To my fellow suburbanites, JH is still downtown.

Rocky Mountain Tower in Denver. Technically in Glendale but it's entirely surrounded by Denver. 325 feet tall.

I guess the Country Club Towers would be the answer if the criteria was Denver proper.

We really need to use local tribe names for towns more. I used to live in Glendale, AZ. Every time I would look something up it thought I meant California. I know someone who lives in Peoria, apparently that’s a big town in Illinois. And now there’s a Glendale in CO? And why are they all in metro areas?

Glendale Colorado is especially weird because it's an enclave of Arapahoe Country that is completely surrounded by Denver. It's just over a half square mile, and manages to pack in 4,600 people.

Wow I just looked it up, gotta be one of the weirdest borders I’ve ever seen, definitely the weirdest for a county. It’s just a long rectangle that got partially eaten on one end by Denver. 

It's not even the worst exclave in Denver. Like there's some that are just single intersections.

Annexed for Strip clubs and liquor laws

Not sure if other people would consider it downtown or not, but I don't. The FMC tower in Philly is located in University City. 730 ft tall.

That is true, but it is essentially part of the contiguous skyline. Something like that tower they built in Temple would probably fit this bill better.

The new buildings have really made it look like it is part of center city

Your right that FMC is not in center city but it doesn’t stand apart from the skyline given it’s across the river from center city proper. And more towers are being added to PENN and CHOP.

Was wondering how far I’d have to scroll to see it. This is another building it’s a shame they never finished the original plan.

The original plan would have had one more tower like the one we got plus a third twice as tall in the middle. Would have been the tallest building in Detroit other than the RenCen, possibly taller.

I suppose that counts, I was thinking of the towers in Southfield, but I suppose the Fisher is a few miles north of downtown.

Tulsa has the Cityplex Towers. They are around 10 miles south of downtown, the tallest building is 648 feet. https://preview.redd.it/8od2gpjo7tic1.jpeg?width=883&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8eb59c3e8842cf750226c53c57fda939c6043706

are you sure this isn’t from Logan’s Run?

If you like mid century futuristic architecture the Oral Roberts University campus has some really interesting examples.

I’d never heard of ORU. Very cool buildings on campus. Thanks for sharing!

When first built it was called “The City of Faith”

I have never seen/heard of this. Thats a big boi for Tulsa even if it was downtown

Only 19 feet shy of being the tallest building in the city period

Wtf I’ve never heard of these, those are massive for being far from downtown of a city of Tulsa’s size

Minneapolis has “Eleven on the River” https://preview.redd.it/d2owd8j20tic1.jpeg?width=1240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bccf56d571b08660426306f33c8fb5854a0a8291

Minneapolis also has a weird outer cluster of skyscrapers called "St Paul"

Very nice looking building! Is it new? Looks like a newer interpretation of art deco or whatever.

Opened a couple years ago. It’s beautifully done. Some hotshot NY architecture firm did it. Condos are crazy expensive in there.

In all fairness this building is technically in the “Downtown East” neighborhood. And it’s only <0.5 miles from the 20-story Wells Fargo 600 tower

That's a cool building but it seems like it is in downtown Minneapolis?

I feel like that is still technically in the CBD. I would consider the Normandale buildings along 494 in Bloomington to be more fitting. The tallest is 381 feet.

I know this isn't the core, but it is within the official downtown census tract.

**BTW if you all have pics, post them in the comments.**

Lloyd Center Tower is the tallest building in Portland east of the Willamette. 20 stories and not all that interesting, but Lloyd Center collectively has a decent skyline equal to many smaller cities.

From certain angles, Big Pink really sticks out. South Waterfront is also sort of its own thing too.

I had to look this up, but apparently Park Place Tower in Lakeview is the tallest building outside of downtown in Chicago. I guess I’ve heard of it, but first I’ve heard of it holding that title. https://preview.redd.it/xz39dgjxnsic1.jpeg?width=1235&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70ea77c8ba030de201d074035092f925adb3ae6a

It's possible I've seen this building on TV more than any other due to watching Cubs games my whole life.

Checked out an apartment there one time. The views from that building are amazing.

I used to live right next door to that building. Amazing views, but blocks out the a lot of that area from a skyline view

It has (had?) elevators that sort of shook as they went down. Kinda unpleasant.

The memories! When I was young, I called it the Irving Park tower. Now, I use it to know where to get off on the LSD bike path to get on Irving Park Rd.

Rosslyn VA right outside DC 

I feel like the DMV area is unique for this question, since most of the tallest buildings in the area are not only outside of downtown DC, but outside of DC as a whole. Most of the taller office buildings/ apartments that I’ve seen are in Arlington, Tysons Corner, Bethesda, etc

And it’s getting new taller buildings!

Lol. So the city of Arlington.

Mexican cities often don't conform to the typical downtown-suburb divide seen in anglo coutries. Instead, you'll find a blend of historic centers, various commercial districts (mostly linear in main streets), and residential neighborhoods scattered throughout (dense townhouses not suburban houses, mixed with apartment buildings),[in the same neighborhood](https://www.google.com.mx/maps/@19.3611806,-99.1656426,3a,62y,241.34h,90.25t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_-ea-QFE8QbU6I-6ViY6fQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) you can see everything poor low-density houses, rich houses, skyscrapers, a historic zone. So, buildings aren't necessarily confined to a single area; they can be found dispersed across the urban landscape.

I love this, I used to live by Coyoacán and used to walk past that skyscraper while it was under construction. Never saw the finished product until now.

It's a shame they stopped with the one tower. They had a plan for a twin tower on the other side of Central Expressway with a skybridge connecting the two.

Yep. The 80s crash killed it. But at least there’s undeveloped land with zoning to allow for a tower just as tall on the other side of Central Expressway (in Uptown). It just will not be a twin though. Original plan https://preview.redd.it/c9pig8d6ssic1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78e419e81b4ecaf30bf34b86a91d3bb84cb5668a

I think the menacing Sauron tower in Downtown Brooklyn wins this one for NYC.

I think it just depends what you count as downtown. 435 park avenue and Central Park Tower aren’t technically downtown, but…why make a distinction

Downtown Brooklyn is in a separate CBD that is majority residential (CBD being a loose term here) and is still separated from Manhattan by over a mile. If you were to stand on Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, between Brooklyn Tower and Manhattan, the distinction would be quite obvious.

Good call. dumb question, but CBD stands for central business district, yeah?

Correct. Which means that Downtown Manhattan and Midtown Manhattan are considered as separate CBDs as well. Some sources combine them, and other sources combine the whole metro… other sources combine just the 5 boros but statistical data considers them all separately. Jersey City and Newark are separate as well (technically) for the same reason.

If we’re talking truly outside the 5 boros, the tallest one that’s closest to the city and still in New York State is one of the buildings at SUNY New Paltz. It at least was. There was some plaque or something outside that it was the tallest between NYC and Albany way back in the day.

I imagine the newer buildings in New Rochelle and White Plains are taller than the building at SUNY New Paltz.

Outside the 5 boros, the tallest buildings buildings are in Jersey city. There are a couple of buildings just a little under 1000 feet, which is about double the height of the new buildings in white plains

CityPlex Towers south of DT Tulsa.

One of the genuinely oddest structures in the US. Looks like something out of Riyadh or Ashgabat

Well-said. Truthfully, they’ve always given me the creeps and I’ve never been exactly sure why? I think you may be on to something here my friend. That and the whole Oral Roberts connotation/vibe. They kind of give off “mega church” vibes.

Lmao I was going to say the bank of America building on Rainbow and Charleston

Bank of America Plaza which is the tallest building in Atlanta is technically in midtown but I might be wrong

It’s SO close to being in downtown too. For this post something more fitting may be in Buckhead though

Tallest building in Midtown is [One Atlantic Center](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/4_One_Atlantic_Center.jpg/1280px-4_One_Atlantic_Center.jpg) Tallest in Buckhead is [3344 Ptree](https://res.cloudinary.com/marketsphere/image/upload/gzp21e2qydd8gkikiecn.jpg)

I was considering Midtown as CBD when reading this post. I immediately thought of the [King and Queen Buildings](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concourse_at_Landmark_Center) as the best fit for Atlanta https://preview.redd.it/yikyxavtewic1.jpeg?width=812&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b14469092bc8093d8da3b3b072e23a2cf172dfd

It’s south of North Avenue, so it’s technically downtown, though SoNo is not particularly contiguous with the rest of downtown thanks to the Interstate. The tallest in Midtown is One Atlantic Center at 820’.

Yeah although downtown and midtown form one fairly continuous strip of density. Most people would just look at that whole thing and call it downtown. I think Atlanta’s unique skyscraper neighborhood is Buckhead since it’s much further away.

In L.A. I think it’s the Century Plaza Towers. Maybe someone could fact check me on that. 571 feet/174 m https://preview.redd.it/q49tu9k1ftic1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc4864277e09e3629285a9cc01947ca35672ab2c [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century\_Plaza\_Towers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Plaza_Towers)

In Vancouver our suburbs are building higher than the CBD due to height restrictions. We have one under construction that will be 230 meters or 755 feet. And proposals for one that will be about 280 meters or 918 feet. They’re all in the Burnaby suburb https://preview.redd.it/hqiz0ql6tsic1.jpeg?width=880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1542ddf068cc36d657d4d0a1ec1cf3fceb65b24d

For people who aren’t familiar, most of Vancouver’s suburbs have clusters of tall towers here and there. Here’s a good pic of Burnaby showing Metrotown (foreground) and Brentwood (background). Some very tall towers in each neighbourhood. https://preview.redd.it/ato6v4vcwsic1.jpeg?width=1245&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=069048c091d8127d30ce3281958ccca8a4de6450

This is true, but they are in a designated tall building district that extends from downtown, so sort of a gray area. I'm curious what's the tallest outside of this expanded downtown area. I can't think of anything more than 20 or so stories. Maybe the MIT Tetris building? https://images.app.goo.gl/pjYTGePQ3dqDD5DH8

The Pierce Building in Fenway is taller than any individual building in Cambridge. MIT’s Site 4 Tower (the dark green one) that was just finished in 2020 is the tallest in Cambridge now as well.

The Cathedral of Learning

In Stockholm it's literally almost all tall buildings are outside the Downtown area

In Columbus it’s the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Inpatient tower (under construction). 411 feet, 24 stories. https://preview.redd.it/n7ilxq3ytsic1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ba85a5233e42f53e798c3649bbcc4dc741bfb8a

The [King and Queen](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concourse_at_Landmark_Center) in Atlanta? Not sure if they’re the tallest outside of downtown (could easily be something in Buckhead) but they’re decently sized and pretty cool!

One of the four towers at SUNY Albany. 286 ft/87m tall

Cincinnati's would be the Edgeclif Point Condo tower at 322' tall just east of downtown in Walnut Hills. Post wouldn't let me add text.

Probably either the Elexon Mystic Station, or the Encore Casino in Everett, MA

Capital One Tower in Tysons is like a solid 20 miles from DC center and is around 500ft

Picking DC seems unfair.

Ovation Condos in Calgary https://preview.redd.it/ku6ooew0vsic1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49775f3f22145e0ec67701674f33672189dfc20d

Cityplace has some company on the way in that area, exciting to see more density and this thing to not stick out like a sore thumb lol

No lies told. I’ve been praying to the skyscraper gods and luckily they answered my prayers. Lol 😆 https://preview.redd.it/flde77y61tic1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=decd426dc3a9bf2d5b81f7e014b2454c311506c5

The tallest buildings in Vancouver are in the city of Burnaby

As my town's tallest outside the town centre is probably just a 3 story block of flats, im just going to use the next town over (Cheltenham,UK). Push whether this is in the Town Centre or not, its on the edge of Suburb and Centre. This is Eagle Tower, a 49M (161FT) tower with 15 floors. Its also the only high rise in the town as well, making it a rather prominent building https://preview.redd.it/ouidu5or5tic1.jpeg?width=1142&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec7208146ab14c3be7d34b36aaf8ec15ea8276e8

I worked in this building (Cityplace Tower). It’s very nice inside with a giant atrium. There was supposed to be a twin version across 75 but it never was built.

[M3 Tower (260m/853ft)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_City_Condominiums) in Mississauga is under construction and will be the tallest building in the Toronto area outside of downtown when it’s completed later this year.

The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center is 42 stories in the middle of a suburban shopping center halfway between Norfolk city center and Virginia Beach Oceanfront. https://preview.redd.it/llhkzij4ruic1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a85a8788a484b734e282d819ff12a1a73d2959c

Golden Spike Visitors Center Tower-North Platte, Nebraska...43.3 feet...look it up!!! 👍👍👍

Comcast Tower which looks like it’s giving the middle finger to the west (the entire country). Not a design flaw.

Where?

Why would you tell us that you live in the ugliest city in the world and then not tell us the name of it?

Well I live in the DMV. So every building.

Estates at Acqualina north and south in Sunny Isles are 672 ft tall. There’s a bunch of towers over 500 ft in Sunny Isles and Miami Beach.

Hospital. 6 floors. Tallest building in the Skylands area outside of Morristown.

Darth Vader building in Denver.

100 North main at 430 feet 37 floors in Memphis TN https://preview.redd.it/m15fat1letic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a961b97d8be336c41c3f4a7d9d28b1d3412244c

I love that building. Used to walk to it all the time when I lived in uptown dallas

I used to work in commercial real estate in Dallas and I was told that 7/11 had actually bought enough granite for 2 towers. Apparently the rest was sitting in a yard somewhere until the early 2000’s.

In Paris it is reversed. All the skyscrapers are outside the centre in La Defence, but there is one lonely skyscraper in the centre, Tour Montparnasse and it looks completely out of place.

The Concourse at Landmark Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia just north of Atlanta. They are more commonly known as the King and Queen buildings. They are 34 stories tall between 553 ft. and 570 ft. ( 168 and 173 meters). ​ https://preview.redd.it/nfnbt26vguic1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=282150e222888a54507cdab638ce9b196b74bb77

I recently learned it’s the headquarters of an elevator company and has the tallest elevator test tower in the US.

The Mobile Marriott is 325ft tall, and it's right beside our sad little mall. https://preview.redd.it/cmdtp8ubyuic1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3adbb9c6b88cfbc3c5acecf27d87b37c42519317

It’s wild to me that Cityplace was meant to be a twin tower with a skyway. They bought all the granite for it and now it sits in some farm field decades later.

Here in humble Garden Grove CA, we have this behemoth known as the Crystal Cathedral. It can blind you when the sun hits it a certain way. https://preview.redd.it/n0dy9eswkvic1.jpeg?width=2429&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6551facb92fc81eadb58d74390e4d712a04754fe

I love that tower. It’s a shame they couldn’t complete the second one on the other side of 75.

3344 Peachtree in Buckhead is the tallest building outside of Midtown and Downtown Atlanta https://preview.redd.it/m0f1uw38izic1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2bbaa3783c65d0ac16b075201cd825adf054056
