I wasn't necessarily talking about just numbers of buildings built, but just the look in general. 5 large buildings in Charlotte changes the skyline. In NYC, you wouldn't really notice. Only the newer stuff of the past 5 years in NYC is really having an impact. Looking at that list and looking at then v now, I'd say Miami & Austin are both leaps and bounds more changed than Charlotte, but I'd put Charlotte at 3rd.

You would be correct. Per capita, Miami, Austin, and Charlotte have outpaced the rest. Though, kudos to Mobile for adding a 700+ footer lol.

Seattle is certainly on that list.

 On a shorter scale, Nashville has expanded quite a bit.

I actually don't think Nashville has changed as much as people would have thought not knowing the skyline.  To be honest somewhat of an underperforming skyline.

From Northwood Ravin. Who can believe this is Charlotte? And we can’t even see the rest of stonewall.... Jesus saves.

^This development looks so much better than Stonewall Station.  Amazing how the brown and grey coloring helps break up the structure.  Take note Crescent!

Going to look even better when the landscaping grows in...

Rain has put a damper on events in Charlotte this weekend, but congrats to the Checkers on winning the Calder Cup!

Best I can do on a stormy day low clouds around 700 feet level or so based on missing tops of some buildings.   From Southpark area to our beefy ever expanding skyline.  

the power lines so you know I am in Charlotte! 

[JorgiPorgi]

Stormy skies. After almost four weeks of dry weather, I guess we deserve it.

The colors are amazing on this one. Gives me higher hopes for the brick on Honeywell as well.

I call this first photo Charlotte Boomtown 3 office towers under construction in this photo.  2nd photo the crown of the Queen City and symbolic of our financial powerhouse we have here.   Love how Legacy and Ally TP look together.  I like diversity in the skyline and these 3 blocks will be great. 

[KJHburg]

OxBlue photo but I see 4 office towers under construction in this photo including finishing up the Legacy 1 tower.

Just look at that sky! This is mid June, not September. Wonderful.

While I wish it were Duke blue, it's clearly Carolina Blue.  James Taylor must have that in his mind.
