Supertall skyscrapers, which are defined as those that exceed 300 metres in height, are currently being planned that would become the tallest buildings in cities including Miami, Toronto and Austin.
Since the construction of the Chrysler Building – the world's first supertall skyscraper – in 1930, around 30 have been built in North America, with the vast majority in New York.
However, in the past few years, architects including Frank Gehry, SOM and Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) have been commissioned to design buildings over 300 metres tall for various other cities on the continent.
