Nice job PWMFlyer, the first peek beyond the construction wall! The dry run with passengers must have been delayed until this weekend.

Total distance to the aircraft door at Gate 14 is approximately 150 yards. You would still be walking the same distance if the actual terminal was extended that far just not in a climate controlled pedestrian bridge with gorgeous views of the apron via narrow vertical windows! :)

One of the foreman told me that the covered walkway's ability moderate the temperature was flawless during testing and it is actually wider on the inside than expected. Comfort was never my concern but the 100 yard plus trek to get to the Gate 14 jetway will be unique and the longest of any...

That is one long passenger transit bridge!

We have glass,

The circus is packing up and leaving town!

Appreciate the efforts and all of the answers are legitimate but I was focusing on places that are not a suburb, satellite or bedroom community of a large city. My trivia question was poorly worded and the biggest mistake was changing the population from 70K to 99K in order to eliminate Albany...

I'm with you TC and was surprised a rendering from that vantage point was not included.

Nice work and I prefer it but I'll learn to live with the canopy if it remains. Could you possibly edit the bottom two photos and remove 8 floors so we can all get a perspective on the original vision at 22 floors and 283' just in case the developer has to scale it down? Would like to get a...

(y) My parents used to take me there in the summer when we lived in Philly back in the late 60's which is why I'm annoyed I initially overlooked it.

That city does actually meet the requirements of the question but I was looking for a non suburb city and I should have been more clear in my post. I know, White Plains is borderline but it is a little further away from NYC than New Rochelle and does have a commercial airport. Keeping track of...

The ONE city I forgot has 7 towers that are 380' or higher.

Correct! However, there is ONE other city that I totally forgot about and it has less than 40K. I intentionally set the population to 99,000 to eliminate Albany, NY which is at the 100,000 mark. And welcome to the forum PortLandArch! (y)

A little trivia: If the Old Port Square tower gets built at its current height of 380' there is only one other city in the United States with a population of less than 99,000 inhabitants that would have a building taller. There is a 418 foot tower in the small town of Oakbrook Terrace (pop...

Eventually replacing the bleachers with real seating would be marvelous!

We'd surely welcome your support DHZ and when you visit Portland in the future let me know and lunch is on me. Don't think I could afford TC and his upscale taste! :)

The Church of the Covenant in Boston (1865-1867) was completed two years earlier and was 240' compared to 202'. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was started in 1866 but was not finished until 1869. But many tall building enthusiasts don't count steeples, smokestacks, flagpoles...

Wait, does anyone else see a resemblance? Has Mr Safdie been spending a lot time in Boston the past few years? ;)

When the Fidelity Building was topped out in 1910 it became the second tallest building in New England (not counting church steeples) behind the Ames Building (1889) in Boston.

The "Waterline" under construction in Austin will be the tallest in Texas when complete also has a very unique roofline. The upper portion of the tower actually reminds me of the Old Port Square proposal.
