tiermaker.com/create/tallest-building-in-every-us-state--dc-16349003 I used this tier list to make this video, and I left them all as is because they are the tallest completed buildings. Note that for some reason Kansas City's One Kansas City Place and Baltimore's Legg Mason Building are not included so you will need to upload your own photos of those two for the tier list.
I get that this is subjective, but the reasoning seems... questionable. The Decker Building at 33? Its literally just a generic beige midrise apartment block. That over the Basilica in DC or the WV capitol building 'because it's grey'? I'm honestly dumbfounded.
He's biased towards geometrically shaped buildings. This would automatically count out most churches. Just the fact that a church is the tallest building of any state is pretty sad. LOL!
I’m sorry but some of the buildings you say are nicer are downright ugly. City Place in Hartford is much nicer than many of the plain glass boxes or cheap concrete 80’s offices you seem to favor.
Really? I moved to Boston in 1989 and I have to say that I was simply stunned by the beauty of the John Hancock Tower and how it melded into the neighborhood and street scape. You don’t usually feel the sky at your feet and the Hancock tower does that when you stand next to it. It’s totally a “2001: A Space Odyssey” thing plopped into historic Boston. Simply iconic.
@kenc1000 I've lived here my whole life (nine years before you got here), so it's just been there for me. I don't know of it looking any different. I was just surprised it came in second. I expected high, like around 10. But second? Happily surprised.
I love the Hancock Tower. A home run when you consider how this futuristic, geometric shard of blue mirrored glass fits so surprisingly well with its much older traditional and historic surroundings.
For everyone complaining about the order just look at it as a list of the tallest buildings in each state. He shows multiple angles on a few of them and it’s interesting if nothing else.
@@Random-mq2cuyeah think so me personally the sears tower is my favorite American building out of the bunch because it stands out with its colors architecture and two antennas but it may also be because I’m from Chicago
Turning Chase Tower residential. There will be a 50-story building built to the west. Due to lack of space downtown, Phoenix has amended their unofficial ordinance of no buildings over 40 floors. I remember in the 70s when a millionaire was going to build a 130+ story building, but the city counsel rejected it.
Interesting list. The only one I HEAVILY disagree with is the WV State Capitol. I’ve driven through Charleston in the Fall a few times and it looks beautiful, with the contrasted golden dome and the reds, oranges, and yellows of the mountains in the area. It is definitely top 10 IMO.
What is this Le Corbusier term that we see here you are one smart cookie to use such a word I have no idea what it means and I have neither heard it in real life nor seen it on any interwebs my grandma used to use words that I'd never heard before nostalgia factor x100 now I'm going to have to go Froogle this Corbusier thing okay bye.
Hello commenter what I've realized is that Le Corbusier is not a word but the name of an architect who existed during a period of time that is no more and designed a bunch of buildings that in my opinion are very very ugly and that should not exist on the face of this planet at any time here or maybe I should not be so extreme and say that it's okay if those buildings exist but that they shouldn't be replicated or emulated at any time and should stand as examples of what buildings should not look like.
@@PassionForGrammar He inspired the International style of architecture that is bland, following function over form, and they are created to fit the least in with their sorroundings.
Fun fact Sears Tower was originally going to be even bigger. Around 5.5-6 million square feet, but the FAA placed a height limit of 1,450 feet. So Sears reduced the size of the tower to around 4.5 million square feet.
Nashville should rank in the top 20 tbh. There are SO many cities with uninspired builds that are supposedly higher in the list like Milwaukee, Detroit, Portland, Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, Denver, Columbia, Burlington, Boston, and MORE
Wells Fargo in Portland, OR is my fav. building in Portland. Architect Charles Luckman, who also helped design LAX's The Theme, The Forum, and MSG (amongst others), is a master of simplicity and form. Fun vid!
It’s always interesting to see what foreigners think of our buildings, although I disagree with a lot of your list. The Wilshire Center in CA is absolutely stunning. But I guess it’s one of those things you have to see in person. I wonder if your list would change if you saw all these buildings in person. Kinda pricey, but that’s a video idea lol
I cry foul. The Wilshire Grand in LA is only the tallest in California due to the 300 foot spire/pole. Salesforce Tower in SF is taller. The 22,000 leds at the top light up at night with a low resolution video. It looks really interesting at night, especially on a foggy night.
Same bro, they cheated with that antenna. Salesforce tower is taller than the Wilshire Grand when measuring the actual building, not the entire building, if that makes sense 😅 but both are cool buildings
Fun Fact: Key Bank Building in Cleveland was purposefully built to be a duplicate of the Empire State Building in New York with modern construction techniques. The two buildings are considered sister buildings. Every year the two buildings exchange Christmas cards with each other.
Great assessments! I am thrilled that you chose Chase Tower in Phoenix as #1! As a long-time former Phoenix resident, I was actually quite surprised at the choice. Phoenix usually gets a bad rap for it's poor skyline appearance in relation to the city's size and population. I just figured because of it's mediocre height of 483 ft, would put it nowhere near the top tier of your list. Let alone, be number 1! But then again, this is not a tallest building list, but a list of your personal (subjective) favorites, which you point out well at the beginning of the video. You also do a great job of listing and explaining your reasons. You really made me look at a lot of these buildings in a different light. The suspense was building as the video would go along and I was thinking to myself "wow, it's in the top 30", "wow, it's in the top 10!" and by the time you listed the 2nd place I was literally like "WOW!" 😅 It's the little things in life, as they say, but this TOTALLY made my day!
I live in Salt Lake City, and it's sort of weird how the Salt Lake Temple is by far the most iconic building here, but is only the 27th tallest building in Utah. It's A LOT smaller in person than it appears in pictures.
Have to admit, I didn’t see Indy coming in at #8. I always thought it looked like some Lego Transformers thing. It’s been the tallest building in the state for more than 35 years and past time for a taller one to be built.
I've lived in Phoenix almost all my life and I was a kid when they built the Chase Tower (it was originally called the Valley National Bank building). I've always thought it looked hideous and was an embarrassment to Arizona, in my opinion. Before I started the video I was sure that it would be in the top ten for WORST building. I'm SHOCKED that it was Number 1 but everyone's entitled to their opinion. It's actually been vacant for a few years and they are rehab-ing the inside of it right now.
If you're going to make a list, you should verify your information first. Because I know, at the very least, you got the tallest building in Utah wrong. Astra Tower is the tallest building in Utah.
You can easily go online and search Astra Tower and see the pictures of the completed building. You can also go to their website and do a tour... I guess of an empty cement structure?
@Random-mq2cu the reason I bring it up is because my 10 year old son calls himself a "geography nerd." Every night after work and school, I let him pick a few videos for us to watch together, and he chose this one. I wanted to set the record straight because he liked your video, but their might be kids like him who take stat and geography channels quite seriously. He has a great memory and will likely remember half of the buildings, and I wanted them to be correct, is all.
@@DubChambers I see where you are coming from, I obviously don't live in SLC so I use CTBUH which tends to be pretty reliable, but as i've just learned, can be outdated. Also how long ago was it opened, out of curiosity
Colorado's Republic Plaza at 26 is... interesting. Considering from the picture you provided it just looks like a grid of windows, I would've imagined it would be near the bottom.
While I hate the fact my state's tallest building is only 483ft, (soon to be dethroned by a 541ft tower) I'm glad you think its the best looking tallest tower in the U.S., though I wish the 5th largest city in the U.S. had at lest one supertall & a few over 700ft, but as long as the airports is positioned where it is, the city will never grow taller.
I have to add this. It is not the tallest building, but it is unique. The San Francisco PUC building has a unique feature. The north facade has a structure that flutters in the wind. If you are traveling south on Van Ness Ave., it looks like a waterfall.
46 West Virginia state capitol, 42 basilica of the national shrine of immaculate conception in DC… and all of the top 8 merely have color and an elementary-schooler’s sense of geometry working for them. Top eight because the other two I like.
Funny thing is some of the older buildings in Miami (think Freedom Tower, Dade county courthouse, Southeast Financial, etc) are some of the best looking if not the best looking buildings in the whole state of Florida. It was just recently they started plopping these ugly, uninspiring condo towers up. Miami used to have a solid, albeit small, but appropriate and proper city skyline for it's size. Like 25 years ago.
I see the Capitol center everyday since I work on the statehouse grounds, I like it's rounded edges, it's monolithic compared to everything else around here but the rounded makes it sleek to me
I worked in the RenCen for 20 years and never thought it was particularly beautiful. The view from Canada presents a more attractive facade, but it hardly matters since GM has decided to tear it down, in part or whole.
Hello I will indulge I like how you put an overview with all of them on one screen at the end of the video and I will say that I respect your opinion while strongly disagreeing personally because I would have about ten of these buildings at the top of my list and the other 40 or so randomized for the rest of it as there's only a couple that I think are really beautiful and another handful that are like mehhh they're alright and everything else is just bluuuuuh and in all honesty when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was going to be one of those AI- or machine-narrated videos but lo and behold it's an actual human being speaking and what do you know he kind of sounds British and I will say this which is that since that is a much older country there must be a larger concentration of what are in my opinion very beautiful buildings you all are very lucky to have that because in the United States we have much less of that especially in the western half of the country which has been designed from the year 1950 onward and let me tell you that I find it to be a very bad thing how beauty in architecture is completely and totally gone and only horrifically ugly buildings are built these days and I looooooathe the self-righteous architects and their wretched tastes and while I loathe the architects themselves somewhat what I loathe exceedingly more is their creations and sometimes I ask the god above why everything has to be so ugly and I can give reasons that I think there are but I am not going to write those right here because this comment is over.
Re: Industrial Nat'l Bank building in Providence. I did not know that the old 'Superman' TV series ever showed a street level shot of 'The Daily Planet' building. It's 5225 Wilshire Blvd., at the corner of La Brea. It still stands. LA city hall was used in the 'leaps tall buildings' shot as the show opens.
Subjective indeed! It should be noted that two of the four smaller towers of the Renaissance Center in Detroit are due to be demolished. The whole complex, originally conceived by Henry Ford II and owned by Ford Motor Company is inefficient and has low occupancy. It is presently owned by General Motors who currently have their headquarters there. They will be moving to a new downtown Detroit skyscraper in the near future.
The empty, abandoned banal "Chase" building in Phoenix is your favorite U.S. skyscraper? This uninspired building exists in one form/shape or another in every large city in America. That it's number one on your list is a head-scratcher.
A crying shame but true....The highest ranked building on the list Chase Tower in Phoenix, AZ has been unoccupied since Sept of 2021 when all employees were re-located to another Chase building in nearby Tempe, Arizona. At present there are no other plans to use the building for any other purpose.

Right
I believe the Devon tower should be a little higher
I'm personally drawn a lot more towards buildings with smooth, sharp, clean and geometric shapes
I mean it is a beautiful building
Maybe you should revisit the title
This video lost me right about when it ranked a neo-gothic church fourth-to-last, behind a cube-shaped office building.
That is the exact moment that I fast forward to see what the top five was

Subjective indeed! It should be noted that two of the four smaller towers of the Renaissance Center in Detroit are due to be demolished.

It is presently owned by General Motors who currently have their headquarters there. They will be moving to a new downtown Detroit skyscraper in the near future.

The empty, abandoned banal "Chase" building in Phoenix is your favorite U.S. skyscraper? This uninspired building exists in one form/shape or another in every large city in America. That it's number one on your list is a head-scratcher.
A crying shame but true....The highest ranked building on the list Chase Tower in Phoenix, AZ has been unoccupied since Sept of 2021 when all employees were re-located to another Chase building in nearby Tempe, Arizona. At present there are no other plans to use the building for any other purpose.
I'd assume there was lots of vacancy in Chase Tower if they were able to relocate the entire building to suburban Phoenix
Bro said that office building looks better than that church. Bruh
why didnt you count the washington monument in D.C
@@Elijah-d8q I'm only counting usable buildings
@@Random-mq2cuahh ok I understand
Did he not include the empire state building or us bank tower or Washington dc structures
Empire state and US Bank are not the tallest in New York and California
The Aegon Tower hasn't been the Aegon Tower for a while - it is now just 400 West Market.
I got speed ran 😭
I totally disagree with some of your assessments. City place in Hartford is one of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the city.
dont rank again
dont hate again
the Astra Tower, in Salt Lake City, Utah, has finished construction, there just arent resudents yet
When I checked CTBUH it said it was still being topped out. I guess it's a bit outdated
The one in Las Vegas is one of my favorites
