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!

    Security At One Of Putin's Residences Has Been Sharply Stepped Up


    " Air defenses were pulled to the site, despite their catastrophic shortage at the front.

    In March 2026, 7 new towers with self-propelled anti-aircraft missile-cannon systems (SAMS) "Pantsir" were built around the residence of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Valdai. This is evidenced by Planet.com satellite images, reports Radio Liberty. "

    My pick for “Best Planning Book” published in 2025

    Source: bookshop.org

    Now and then one comes across a book that sets new standards for excellence in print. It may be due to its content, the context, the impact of the publication on society, or a defining aspect of the book that sets it apart from others. In this particular case, Chicago Homes: A Portrait of the City’s Everyday Architecture solidly achieves at least three of the aforementioned pinnacles, with its rich and defining illustrations being beyond exemplary.

    Three example illustrations from Chicago Homes – Source: arcchicago.blogspot.com

    Chicago Homes by Carla Bruni and Phil Thompson succeeds in telling the history of one of America’s greatest and most-beloved cities through its housing heritage — specifically the styles and trends in housing that shaped Chicago’s residential development from a lonely outpost at the forks of the Chicago River through World War II. This contextual relationship between Chicago’s housing biography and the city’s overall urban history is tremendously informative and is filled with many interesting tidbits and anecdotes.

    Too often as planners, we get tied up in the scale of scope of large projects, whether they be towering skyscrapers, enormous transportation projects, placid and serene parks, or large commercial and industrial developments. Meanwhile, it is the individual house, the home, a dwelling unit, or an apartment that in unison form the largest proportion of the communities we serve. As a result, it is their relationship to the overall city that can largely shape one’s sense of place.

    ” Chicago was built on change. we’re still culturally the same old city, and our homes are still extensions of who were are, individually and collectively. Architecture is politics. Architecture is whimsy. Architecture is people.”

    Source: “Chicago Homes,” page 298.

    The icing on the cake to Chicago Homes is the stunningly detailed and gorgeous illustrations provided throughout the book showing the progression of architectural trends, styles, and decorative features that developed over time for residential dwellings throughout the city. The amazing illustrations prepared by Mr. Thompson’s Wonder City Studio alone could be framed and sold in galleries across the country they are so beautiful.

    As the book addresses Chicago’s housing history up to and including World War II, more recent trends (both good and bad) are not incorporated in the book except with brief references in the epilogue and elsewhere. This aspect in no way detracts from the book and would make for a fascinating sequel publication in the future.

    This retired planner strongly recommends this book, and not only to existing, former, or wannabe Chicagoans and architecture geeks. For Chicago Homes transcends both geography and genre in a manner that should captivate most any reader with its fascinating content, its broadly appealing context, and its truly defining illustrations.

    Peace!

    Working list: Tallest student housing towers by university

    Listed below are the tallest student housing towers by university across the United States. This list includes on-campus housing and dormitories for students, as well as off-campus privately operated rental housing for students. It does not include strictly condominium buildings.

    Evo at Circa Centre South: Philadelphia – Source: aviewoncities.com

    As can be seen from the data, there have been two great boom period for constructing tall student housing towers. The first in the 1960s and early 1970s (46 from the list) were principally on-campus dormitories those the baby boom generation. The second, was in the 2005-2020 (24 from the list) time period as private firms constructed and offered varied high-rise off-campus living for students. This second boom period appears to be continuing well into the 2020s with nine more towers completed or underway.

    As more such towers are identified, they will be added to the list if they are the tallest for a particular university. Please note, in cases where the exact height is not known , “~” is used to show the height is an estimate based on the number of floors times 10 feet per floor.

    Bonjour Mastodon, j'ai une question :

    Savez-vous s'il existe des résidences de création (illustration, gravure, bande dessinée) sans condition obligatoire d'animer des ateliers avec des enfants ?
    Je les aime beaucoup, j'ai mon bafa, tralala, mais bon.

    Merci d'avance,
    Bien cordialement,
