Here are two typical final descent paths into Hobby Airport: Planes landing at Hobby Airport often fly less than a mile from downtown. That finding was sent to the city of Houston (which owns the airport), which told the builder to cap the tower at 75 stories.

The building was supposed to be 80 stories, but an FAA analysis at the time determined that any structure over 75 stories was "hazardous to air navigation," according to the Hines company, which owns the tower. Four development teams will compete to build a sports and entertainment venue to replace Baltimores aging 1st Mariner Arena, with their proposals envisioning added twists such as a seven-screen movie theater, a hotel, concert hall, offices or street-level shops, city officials said yesterday. In Houston, the question was settled decades ago when the 75-story JPMorgan Chase Tower (originally named the Texas Commerce Tower) was constructed in 1981. This three-way tug-of-war between the FAA, permitters and builders is currently playing out over the construction of Amazon's HQ2 campus in Arlington, Virginia-where regulators say plans for a Helix building are 13 feet too tall for incoming flights to Washington Reagan National Airport, according to Drew Wilder of NBC Washington. Plans were scrapped in part because it was too tall for Houston's skyline, coupled with the oil bust in the 1980s. The Bank of the Southwest Tower was another anticipated skyscraper for downtown Houston that was supposed to reach 82 stories. 2 It is also the tallest building in New England and. The tallest structure in Boston is the 60- story 200 Clarendon, better known to locals as the John Hancock Tower, which rises 790 feet (241 m) in the Back Bay district. In Houston, no permit is granted to any construction that is out of line with the FAA's analysis. The majority of the city's skyscrapers and high-rises are clustered in the Financial District and Back Bay neighborhoods. They then turn over that analysis to the permitting office (in our case, the city of Houston), which can ask developers to change their blueprints. But it can make an analysis of how any new building would affect airplanes taking off or landing at any given airport. The FAA can't alter designs or halt construction, according to FAA spokesperson Tony Molinaro. When a new building or structure over 200 feet is planned for construction, builders are required to file paperwork with the Federal Aviation Administration, according to Houston Airport System spokesperson Augusto Bernal.
