Top 200 Australian Skyscrapers construction boom

[Ben]

Everywhere except Adelaide Melbourne is evolving at such a fast rate it won't be too far away until it overtakes Sydney as Australia's largest city.

Melbourne: 19 UC
Brisbane: 5 UC (1 on hold)
Sydney: 4 UC
Perth: 2 UC
Gold Coast: 1 UC
Adelaide: 0 UC

The figures are for the number of buildings currently under construction that will be inside the top 200 tallest buildings in Australia, not buildings over 200m high.

[Ben]

Makes sense. Good way of telling what development is like across the country for high rise.

[Will]

In that case, we are not doing too bad.

Considering that we have 4 proposals that would enter that list:

* CCT4 - ~115m
* Currie Street Hotel - 103m
* 2-20 Flinders Street - 100m
* 115 KW - 86m

p.s. the Intercontinental Hotel should be on that list

[Ben]

These are purely construction figures though, so projects that are/will happen not just proposals.

T4 isn't actually a proposal yet. But even if all of those proposals came to fruition we would be behind what most cities have under construction....

Considering the current business love affair with large floor plates, a better contemporary measure would be the total square metres of buildings being built.
