Five cities where the “then” tallest building was leveled by choice – UPDATED

Identified below are five American cities where the tallest skyscraper was demolished (imploded) by choice versus being destroyed by and act of war, storms, earthquake, terrorism, or other tragic event. Though there is a caveat to that summary. A corporate bankruptcy led to the loss of one of these towers and two hurricanes damaged another one beyond repair and restoration. Both of those are tragic events, as well — they just happened to take longer to have an permanent impact on the building’s viability versus a sudden event.

These other three buildings were eventually lost due to time and deterioration after being vacant for an extended period. And as time passed, the cost-effectiveness of rehabilitating them became prohibitive.

With three of the cases, new developments have replaced or will soon replace the lost skyscraper with new uses on the properties. In Lake Charles, the city has purchased the property and will be developing and lakefront amphitheater on the site. An adjacent hotel is also planned. The Flint site is now a park and green space.

Fortunately for four of these cities, the loss of a signature skyscraper has had a silver lining, as new developments are already revitalizing three of the sites, and exciting plans have been developed for the other. Once completed, it is hoped all four redevelopments will find long-term success and lead to further investments in the surrounding vicinity.

Peace!

"Carnegie Centre”

One of my favorite buildings in downtown Oklahoma City. This midcentury modern former Downtown Library (1954 by Winkler & Reid) was turned into mixed-use redevelopment in 2014. Hidden gem.
