I really wish the Chicago Spire would have been built. I remember back in 2008 going by and watching the construction, then it stopped. It would have been an amazing skyscraper.
Not Sure The tribune tower is going there! Developer Related Midwest is building not one but two towers in that spot. 400 N. Lakeshore Drive. The Tribune tower is at East Illinois St and North Cityfront Plaza Drive.
Yes! It didn't bite Australia nearly as hard (as people quipped our banksters had been too dumb to know all the rorts) so I never got a sense of how many megaprojects it stopped in the Northern Hemisphere.
Recessions are ultimately a good thing because they clear malinvestment and allow more productive aspects of the economy to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately governments never learn and keep pumping more money.

best line,, "imaginatively named Russia Tower" interesting topic for sure, I really thought you would bring up the Kingdom Tower, or Jeddah Tower. I have a feeling that may never be finished. thanks for posting Fred,, excellent as always
Bj Eddy Have you seen the new proposed design? They're having problems getting government approval. Sadly, the chinese government added more regulations on building super-tall structures. Shanghai Tower remains the tallest in China and Shenzhen has the second tallest. Guangzhou, Tianjin, Beijing all have super-tall skyscrapers and there are a whole bunch in the process of being built, there are also many on-hold.
It's really cool to see my city, Chicago, featured in a video. It's never gets old because I often feel like this metropolis is kinda forgotten about or shunned in American spaces because of all the negative news... So as I sit here in a Cafe in Lincoln Park watching this, it feels good to see! Thanks B1M for not just skimming over us! I know there is SO much more globally that you could cover but you still choose to include us!
the music taste on this channel is perfect. you know just when to switch it up with some modern electronic material... and just when to bring back the epic orchestral. love it!
e1123581321345589144 they won’t! It’s not economically feasible. Chicago is not the city it used to be and people who live there know that! Developers know that!
In 1986 there were plans to build the world's tallest building in Newark, New Jersey, USA. It was gonna be a 121-story tower and like 1,800 feet tall. It was canceled later due to lack of money.
I'm from Chicago and I remember the insane hype over the Chicago Spire before the recession. Chicago's Trump Tower really set the mood for adding more supertall structures to Chicago's iconic skyline. I was really disappointed when the Spire was cancelled and the giant hole adjacent to Lake Michigan is a total eyesore. Although now seeing what happened to midtown Manhattan with those pencil-thin skyscrapers for the uber rich, I'm ultimately glad this project never got off ground.
The pinnacle was just beautiful I remember the time it had started construction too bad it had been changed to another design which fits less in the overal city’s skyline .... Russia tower was gorgeous too
Dubai has TONS of such skyscrapers or projects. My favorite of those cancelled or indefinitely postponed projects are the Dubai Towers (which look like flames in wind) and the Dancing Towers.
Never knew about that Tour sans fin, it would still look pretty amazing. The one cancelled skyscraper I would have loved to have seen built is 80 South Street in NYC, another great design by Calatrava. Too bad the demand for $29m to $59m condos had dwindled quite a bit in 2008....
Happy New Year! This was a great way to start the New Year. Such beautiful, inspiring buildings (The Pinnacle is my favorite). It's a shame none of them were ever constructed. Maybe someone will get the rights and create them (or something similar). 🏗🏙😉
2:50 that is so typical of Australia. Cutting edge world-leading tech, which never gets realised here, gets sold overseas, and someone else gets the fame. The Grollo tower would have been amazing, but instead Dubai gets the glory. Brilliant, well done Australia.

Always a fan of the overhead aerial skyline shots. It's interesting to see the layout and wonder what kind of urban planning maybe went into it, if any at all and does it look like it effectively functions. Interesting info as usual. Thx for posting.
I grew up in Sydney and went to a city school watching all those new structures and buildings such as what was then called The Centrepoint Tower, MLC, and other office towers being built in the late 1970s. There is a height restriction for all buildings in the CBA area of Sydney because of the proximity of Mascot airport. They might change the height level when they complete the new international airport at Badgery Creek in 2026.
As a proud resident of Melbourne, it hurts my heart to know that the Grollo tower was never built and then just to make it more painful. They sold the plans to Dubai who then turned it into the world's tallest building!!! 😥😥
Great video, i didn't know about a lot of these. Another victim of the global financial crises that wasn't mentioned in this video was the American Commerce Center in Philadelphia. It would have reached a height of 1510 feet or 460 meters to become the tallest building in America. Now the Comcast Technology Center occupies the same site.
They call it the *skyscraper curse.* Central banks pushing interest rates too low, cause a bubble in assets sensitive to interest rates (mortgages, debts etc), those debt sensitive industries explode but the rest of the economy lags behind, eventually leading to a crash. Think of it like this. Houses climb 10% a year but wages climb 3% a year. Eventually houses become unaffordable and a reset is needed. All because governments loves booms and patting themselves on the back for a good job. Central planning failing like clockwork. And governmet "solutions" are to push interest rates lower and paper over the collapse. Rather than let houses become affordable. Greenspan former head of the Fed said "we kept interest rates too low for too long". Well theyve been kept even lower for even longer now
@Neel Javia China is nuts, over 60 million vacant flats/apartments, with many of the buildings built so badly that they collapse. Others have zero maintenance and bits falling off them. Ive listened to many a podcast on China, theyve had failing banks getting bailed out since 2016 and a massive debt problem. But they keep it all surprisingly quiet (unless youre into finance and investing then its easy enought to find out)
I'm especially sad about the Tour Sans Fin. Especially since it hasn't had a proper replacement. No building in Paris has even come close to its level of grandeur or height since then. It really would've added something to the skyline. But I'm still hopeful that eventually it will get its proper replacement (maybe Hermitage Plaza if that's still happening).
I'm not into modern architecture, but I like that building at 5:18 with the white edges (to the left of the skyscraper with the crane). Gives me dystopian vibes
There is a skyscraper being developed in Seattle. At one time, it was proposed to be for 1,111 feet tall. If that were to be finished construction this year, it would be the 15th tallest in the US and the tallest west of the Mississippi. Unfortunately, the FAA didn't like that height due to downtown's proximity to Sea-Tac Airport. There's still no definitive height for the tower and a new proposal shows it at 1,185 feet. The Columbia Tower was designed to be 1,006 feet tall and that was in the mid-80s when only a handful of supertalls even existed. Seattle missed out on having a supertall then, so I hope this new one does get built as a supertall.
I was so hyped for the Chicago Spire when it started construction, and I was very sad when it was cancelled. I never heard about The Pinnicle or the Russia Tower, but those are really cool too
Also here In India In Mumbai Namaste Tower also got canceled....work was started too : ( And almost all the super tall Buildings in Mumbai height was reduced ...because of Airport Authority 320 meters palyis royal was also ...scaled down ....and now it's almost complete ... Ahhhh 😫
I was following Chigaco Spire's progress since I loved the design. Together with the Burj Khalifa's construction, both were my favorite skyscrapers. Too bad the financial crisis halted it. Also with the Melbourne Tower. What a beauty, though wouldn't that iconic compared to the opera house, it sure is a thing of (tall) beauty.
One you should have mentioned is Brisbane Central, it was approved and hole dug in 1986, it was supposed to replace Chicago's Sears Tower at 450 meters and would have become the worlds tallest for a decade until Petronas took over in 1996. The interesting facts are that is would have been 3 times taller than Brisbanes tallest at the time and now the city has a 275m height limit in place forever due to Airport. It would have changed the city forever!

1500 'feet'… that's, what, about 450 metres? Seems a bit lacklustre for Chicago.
Oh yeah I remember. I was a little kid obssesed with tall buildings back then (I mean I still am). That being cancelled literally made me cry
