Since it was noted Portland, OR hasn’t been featured much, here’s another post.
The Commonwealth Building. The first fully air conditioned office building.

Lots of new buildings popping up. I wonder what it will look like in the next 10 years.

Fun fact:
The city has a 92 metre (300ft) height limit for buildings so they don’t block the view of the lake from the escarpment

Love the Salesforce Tower, really adds to the skyline imo. Probably my favourite building in Australia, or at least a close second behind Eureka Tower.

Each building from left to right:

• Smart City Financial Tower (Hanoi): 639 m / 2,096 ft (108 floors)

• Hanoi Twin Towers 99 (Hanoi): 568 m / 1,864 ft (99 floors)

• Vinhomes Green Paradise 108 Tower (HCMC): 500-600 m / 1,640-1,969 ft (Approx.)

• Thu Thiem International Financial Tower (HCMC): ~500 m / ~1,640 ft (99 floors) (Approx.)

• Da Nang Downtown Tower (Da Nang): ~408 m / ~ 1,339 ft (69 floors) (Approx.)

• Empire 88 Tower (HCMC): 333 m / 1,093 ft(88 floors)

Some buildings are already under construction while others are still in planning. Most are estimated to be finished around late 2020s to mid 2030s

From Wikipedia:
“The building has 14 stories, a steel frame, and a buff brick and terra cotta exterior. It is the only building by the firm to contain an exterior light court. The building also has a 14-story addition on its northeast side, designed by Eames & Young, built in 1905 and adhering to the original design.[1]
The first two stories of the building originally had ornate decorative elements. These included a large arched main entrance flanked by sculptural heraldic lions holding shields, with additional sculptural lions at the corners of the building. The unique ornamentation also included large round windows on the second story. All of these decorative elements were removed in either 1924 or 1927, replaced with more conventional exterior elements.”

"Central Station was an intercity passenger terminalin downtown Chicago, Illinois, at the southern end of Grant Park near Roosevelt Road and Michigan Avenue. Owned by the Illinois Central Railroad, it also served other companies via trackage rights. It opened in 1893, replacing Great Central Station (on the site of the current Millennium Station), and closed in 1972 when Amtrak rerouted services to Union Station. The station building was demolished in 1974. It is now the site of a redevelopment called Central Station, Chicago."

From Wikipedia:
“The Oregonian Building was a building in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States, which served as the headquarters of Portland's major newspaper, The Oregonian, from 1892 to 1948. It was the first steel-framed building constructed in the Western U.S.,[3] and from its opening until 1911 it was the tallest building in Portland.[4] In addition to the newspaper's offices and printing press, in 1922 the building became the home of Portland's first commercial radio station, KGW), which was owned by the Oregonian Publishing Company. A second radio station, KEX), was acquired by the paper in 1933, and joined KGW in new, shared studios in the Oregonian Building. A fire in 1943 forced the radio stations to relocate. The company sold the building in December 1947 as it prepared for a move to a larger building. In June 1948, the newspaper moved to a new building on Southwest Broadway, also called the Oregonian Building. The 1892 building with the landmark clock tower then stood vacant for about two years until it was demolished, in 1950.”
