With the recent opening of the 1,401-ft-tall One Vanderbilt Avenue, New York City’s supertall office building stats are on the rise. The tower is the third tallest in North America, trailing the 1,776-ft-tall One World Trade Center, also in Manhattan, and the 1,453-ft Willis Tower in Chicago.

MKA, Studio Gang and James McHugh Construction designed and built Chicago's third-tallest building, Vista Tower, over a two-level road.

The Chicago Plan Commission on Jan. 18 approved a $700-million development that, as presented, would include the city’s sixth-tallest building.
