What about the Hillsborough River Tower? No one's mentioned it yet, but it's the second tallest approved building. I can't post the darn picture but here's the link anyways.

It's six hundred feet tall and has to be one of the most beautiful towers I've ever seen. It is sooo cool. Check it out.

Its the fact they dont have enough leases yet because downtown has plenty of office space and most people work outside of downtown but this is also a tower id like to see built

Thats what i think will happen to Dubai. Why because so many projects at once is just a disaster waiting to happen

I-275, I'm not sure it's the airport that restricts height, I believe it's the distance from the bay. The closer to the bay a project is, the shorter it has to be. At least this is what I remember hearing when I lived there. I may be wrong though.
I would have been ecstatic (sp?) if they built a 510 foot tower in St. Petersburg, I was hoping it would be taller.

Actually i read the airport restrictions thing right off a official tampa bay site when they were talking about the project

I don't think this was as much a height restriction as it was homeowners in the area objectiong to the height.
Tibor Hollo, as you may know, is planning a 42 st. tower (the old Tropicana site).

Bayway lofts
Floors: 29
Height: 371 ft
Groundbreaking: 2005 (projected)
Completion: 2007 (projected)
Type: Residential
Status: Proposed
Location: Downtown St. Petersburg
Address: N/A
Originally proposed by developer Grady Pridgen in early 2004, the Bayway Lofts were supposed to be 510 feet high with 42 floors. After battles with the city over height issues, the project was scaled down to a more manageable 371 feet in July of 2004. The project will feature retail at ground level, and a rooftop restaurant, but is primarily residential. Prices for units are set to range from between $200,000 and $500,000 - lower than other high rise residential projects in downtown St. Petersburg. A parking garage will fill the lowest levels of the project, located at Third Avenue N and Second Street.
That really sucks the thing about height issues i never knew St.Petersburg had height restrictions its sad to think we could of had a tower as tall as something in Tampa like i said before St.Petersburgs skyline is really behind
EDIT:Wow it turns out that stupid airport is the reason why there cant be tall buildings in downtown St.Pete oh well

It frustrates me that this country in the Middle East will build something like this and we spend so much time bickering over the WTC which even though the spire might reach 1776ft, it wont actually be even close to being that high in terms of occupiablility.
It frustrates me that the most prosperous country in the world can't get a project like this accomplished anymore, and some tiny countries that most people haven't even heard of can bulid these things with seemingly little problems. (Malaysia, UAE)

Yea but Dubai and many other Asia cities are pulling ahead of USA in their buildings because they are willing to risk building it and our construction companies arent its sad too hear but some day we wont be the best country in the world
