During a recession the volume of these high rise buildings can fall to virtually nothing, and in strong markets it can rebound significantly, as seen in the infographic below. You can see that high rise construction was strongest in the few years before the 2008 recession, but has rebounded well in the years following the recession.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-10-stories-chart-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"Projects Over 10 Stories Chart\" width=\"788\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-10-stories-chart-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-10-stories-chart.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Looking more closely at the purely nonresidential building types, the pattern is repeated, but it\u2019s important to note that even in the strongest periods, nationally there are under 200 projects over 10 stories high started in any year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/nonresidential-over-10-stories-chart-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"Nonresidential Over 10 Stories Chart\" width=\"781\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/nonresidential-over-10-stories-chart-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/nonresidential-over-10-stories-chart.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the very super high rise building category (high rise buildings with 20 or more stories) is dominated by just three building categories, apartments, hotels and motels, and finally, office and bank buildings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-20-stories-chart-2013-2017-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"Projects Over 20 Stories Chart 2013 2017\" width=\"890\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-20-stories-chart-2013-2017-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/projects-over-20-stories-chart-2013-2017.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, high rise construction of buildings is concentrated in major cities, led by an incredible margin in the New York metro area. From 2013 to 2017 there were only 10 metro areas that had 50 buildings or more over 10 stories break ground. These metropolitan areas include New York, Miami, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Dallas-Fort Worth, Boston, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
