A dude on world skyscraper forum (a bunch of nerdy architects, city planners, etc) compiled a list of all of the new buildings that have been approved for Atlanta and he claims that this will be Atlanta in the year 2030 based off approved contracts, etc

There are like 15 super tall skyscrapers breaking ground soon

He also said that Dallas, Houston, Austin, Nashville and Tampa are all going to have a very similar massive building boom like this

There are a lot of large projects all over the country waiting on interest rates to drop. Next year you will see a huge boom in commercial construction.

Not just skyscrapers either. It’s like the interest rates right now are like a cork on the economy. If the idiots at the fed would finally lower rates, the economy is poised to skyrocket.

Who is going to fill them? They can’t fill the buildings they have there currently.

I'm told half of us will be unemployed due to AI by then. Why will we need more buildings?

Interesting, they finance these projects with 4 week notes?

Georgia Tech is actually a big part of a lot of these new developments and supposedly all of the cities mentioned (oh and Charlotte) are hot as hell for major companies relocating their massive headquarters from dem states/cities - especially NY and Chicago

Atlanta has some great buildings, hopefully they can work some interesting design features in vs the typical glass blocks.

You’re joking, right? There’s a big difference between Mexicans slapping Romex in a house like spaghetti and wiring skyscrapers. We really need to be training our own. But greed, as usual, is driving the ship, so to speak. Not to mention, we’ve been telling young people, for decades, that you’re an abject loser if you have a blue collar job.
