1. Legends Tower (1,907 ft. or 581 m) – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Currently under construction, Legends Tower will be the centerpiece of a mixed-use development plaza currently known as "The Boardwalk at Bricktown," and was proposed back in 2014 with city officials approving the tower in 2017. Legends Tower is expected to top off around June-July of 2022, and the entire The Boardwalk at Bricktown entertainment district complex is expected to fully open in late 2023 or early 2024. Legends Tower and The Boardwalk at Bricktown entertainment district will feature a 350-key Hyatt Dream hotel, 1,776 apartments, 110,000 square feet of retail stores and restaurants, and the top floors of Legends Tower will feature a restaurant and observation area.

When completed, Legends Tower will have 134 floors and stand 1,907 ft. tall (581 m), a reference to Oklahoma's admission to the Union in 1907, and will be more than twice as tall as the Devon Energy Center, currently Oklahoma City's tallest building at 844 ft. (257 m). The building will also become the tallest located in a U.S. state's capital city.

2. Virginia World Trade Center A (1,776 ft. or 541 m) – Richmond, Virginia. Currently the tallest building in the United States outside of the U.S. state of Altamasstachia, Virginia World Trade Center A is the main building of the Virginia World Trade Center complex in Richmond, Virginia. Virginia World Trade Center A stands 1,776 ft. (541 m) tall, a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed, and the Virginia World Trade Center complex is laid out as seven buildings (including Virginia World Trade Center A) named A-G, and includes a transportation hub, a performing arts center, a park with a large square reflecting pool and two statues - the Patrick Henry Statue (commemorating the American politician and orator who made his famous "Give me liberty, or give me death!" speech to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775) and the America's Response Monument (subtitled De Oppresso Liber, also known as the Horse Soldier Statue) which commemorates and honors America's soldiers who fought in all major wars to this point, and an underground shopping center. The concept of an international commercial trade complex located in Virginia's state capital dates to the early 1970s, and this idea gained serious attention following the growth of the Richmond metropolitan area from the 1980s through the 2000s, with Richmond labelled by Time Magazine in 1992 as a "City of the Future." In order to sufficiently accommodate the new Virginia World Trade Center complex, Richmond city officials and Virginia state officials built the RichMove people mover network and upgraded the civic bus system and made upgrades to Richmond's major highways (I-64, I-95, I-195, I-295, I-895, and US 301) and Richmond International Airport (RIC) in a period from 1989 to 2005. Construction of Virginia World Trade Center A began in 2006 and the tower opened to the public in 2014. The Virginia World Trade Center Observatory, located on floors 100-102, opened in 2015. By 2019, the rest of the Virginia World Trade Center complex would be fully completed and opened to the public. The Virginia World Trade Center complex has been credited with helping to re-vitalize downtown Richmond and bolster the economy of the city and metropolitan area as well as the state of Virginia's economy, and tourism has substantially increased in the region and state since the mid-2000s. Virginia World Trade Center A has been the "anchor" in the city's development since its proposal, and since the early 2000s, Richmond's skyline has been going under a skyscraper boom which so far has seen fifteen new high-rises (including the component buildings of the Virginia World Trade Center complex).
