They are just finishing the last few floors of the shangri la hotel/residential mixed use tower here in Vancouver. It's a short building by most large city standards but makes a nice impression on the Vancouver skyline:

stands 196.9 m (645 ft)

Tallest building between Chicago and New York... and I work there. 🙂 The view from the 61st floor is incredible.

The tallest is Comcast Center in Philadelphia...and the Key Tower in Cleveland is taller too...
 
chase tower. it was supposed to be taller but the FAA wouldn't give clearance, saying it would be a navigational hazard for planes landing at HOU.

a lot of people think the 100 foot shorter williams tower is the tallest building in houston. probably because it's all by itself out on the west loop, and so looks taller.

No and not by a long shot. They are building it:

and it will be 541 m tall. The burj dubai will be 636 m tall (2,087 ft). Meaning it will be 95m or 311 feet taller than the FT.
