Half of those might be built, only because Atlanta still has a decent economy.

Half of these get stuck in the financing phase and commercial real estate demand isn't what it used to be.

You realize all electricians are gay?

Nice to pretend but that rendering isn’t happening by 2035 much less 2030. There is one tall building currently under construction at 1072 West Peachtree. It is a 60 story being built by Turner Construction for the Rockefeller Group. All others out for bid right now that could possibly start in the next 6 months to a year are 20-30 stories and there is only a handful.

Norfolk Southern's brand new big arse building will be on the market soon if the merger happens.

Fixed

at near full employment you'll have to import people to do these jobs.

My guess is it’s planning for making it one of the “15 minute cities” that the environmental bureaucrats want to cram everyone into.

Have you seen Austin’s skyline lately? Crazy how much it’s grown. Then there’s cities like Tampa which have also grown but their skyline is rather small compared to another city in similar size.

My 1st thought. If many are remoting and the younger generations aren’t working, who will be there?

No chance all of those happen and a 50 story building usually takes 3-4 years to complete from the time construction starts so even if they start some now/soon they may not be done by 2030.

Import third world, become third world. Those buildings will be crumbling within a couple decades thanks to substandard work from the average Jorge Golpe.

Our current generation of should've-been tradesmen have been eliminated thanks to the college-or-bust attitude of Americans the last 40 years, though, so, we are quite screwed regardless.
