What is the tallest game-default building in Sim City 4?

[Mr Saturn64 742]

Other than the obvious landmarks: the Empire State Building, CN Tower, Bank of China, John Hancock Center, Chrysler Building, Columbia Seafirst Center, 555 California Street...  What is the tallest?

 

I've nominated this to:

Lind Entertainment

Van Prooijen Trading

Cahalane Communications

Lind Entertainment is taller than Van Prooijen Trading. I know cause in my city they just happened to grow beside each other and Lind is a little taller!

Probably Lind Entertainment, but it could also be Pedriana Pharmaceuticals.

can we get pics of these cause i dont think i have ever seen them before

The default buildings are not very tall compared to some plugins.  But, taken from this forum, here are the tallest default buildings:

It's nice to see what some of those other skyscrapers look like. Besides the 2 I mentioned earlier I haven't seen the rest. My city grew several tall buildings then stopped so I'm on the cusp of getting more skyscrapers. I got several wrens (of course) a few Yates buildings and a couple others, throw in the Seafirst Center or whatever it's called and I have the beginning of a decent CBD!

It can go slowly. I usually don't play big cities, but I was playing around with frostback's Amsterdam, and he already had Lind Entertainment at 400,000 inhabitants, Pedriana Pharmaceuticals showed up a few 100,000's later, and at 1 million, it's a few more, like the upper right one. Is the Chrysler Building really higher than Lind Entertainment? It doesn't really look higher.

 

For what it's worth, the really tall buildings grew in that game when there was empty space next to them. Also, there are some really tall residentials around.

I always thought Pedriana Pharmaceuticals was the tallest base building in SC4. But that may depend on what you define the building height on. Pedriana Pharmaceuticals has a large antenna at the top.

-If you count spire, Hurt Enterprise Headquarters might take the cake.

-If roof height, it may be Lind Entertainment

I just looked, and in one suburb tile I have, Ong Condos, an R$$$, sticks really out from the rest. I have no idea how it compares to something like Pedriana Pharmaceuticals, though. It's definitely smaller than the Chrysler Building.

 

Here's an image of the building, in case the name doesn't ring a bell. It grew at the tile edge.

HOGAN WALLACE AND WHITE!  I knew i was forgetting something, and didn't want to type Pedrania? for that.  Hurt enterprise is obviously the Commerzbank in Frankfurt.  My favorite building default is Van Prooijen, so it makes for a nice skyline

I have compiled a table of all ingame CO$$$ buildings, and Pedriana (incl the antenna) should be the 2nd tallest, with the tallest being Hurt (according to the data in the exemplars). Here is an excerpt:

Cool. Do you have the same data for R$$$? I think Ong Condos is about the same height as Cahalane Communications.

^ uncool.  Did you have to copy the whole post, table and all?

Probably not, given the speed of this forum.
