Since 1998, developers have completed or started construction on more than 160 buildings in Chicago's greater downtown area that are at least 12 stories tall (the widely accepted definition of a high-rise), according to Gail Lissner, a vice president at Appraisal Research Counselors. That's more high-rises than there are in all of Detroit (126), St. Louis (105) or Milwaukee (83), according to the Emporis building database.
