The publication has an interactive map of tall New York buildings (at least 100 meters high) that are recently completed or under construction.
“The current boom demonstrates New York’s persistence as a magnet for capital, and its standing as the ultimate skyscraper laboratory over time,” the CTBUH said on its website.
