Columbus does have some nice height for its metro size... 4 buildings over 500 ft (the most in Ohio)

But I get an overall sense of sterility while looking at the buildings... and it doesn't seem that dense for a northern city...

Columbus reminds me a lot of Indy


LeVeque is simply amazing...

I would also expect Columbus to be much more dense considering its location and history in the upper Midwest. What's there are some nice tall towers, each with a fairly unique design. But then that's all. Reminds me a lot of Oklahoma City's skyline, but not quite as good. Needs some work. 6.5/10

8/10

7.5/10 The skyline is small, although it's dense and has height on it. I like it!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very surprised with the skyline of Columbus the first time I saw. Much bigger, and larger than I imagined. 8.5

7/10


Just like any other NA medium city skyline, small but with nice towers

A nice suprise. Dident know Colombus had such a good skyline ! 7.5/10

its "ok" but nothing of much interest there really. i quite like the oldest of the four look towers but apart from that the whole thing screams "bland conservative america". note to columbus planners - must try harder.
6/10.

it's a pretty nice skyline 6.5/10

LeVeque awesome, the rest is crap! Columbus' skyline is disappointing!

Columbus might be the fastest growing city and metro in the state but there skyline needs help.

Whoever put 10, needs their head examined.

LeVeque is a knockout. The rest of it isn't.

6.5/10

Small skyline, but I think the skyline is dense

Need some more buildings

7.5/10

I like the shiney building, 7.

Columbus lacks major land formations such as rivers, lakes, hills etc. Because of this the buildings must stand on their own. Unfortunately, many of the newer towers are boring. So much so that I think they actually detract from the beauty of the Leveque Tower.

6.5/10

notable skyline, needs algun more modern building, to be a North
American and capital city of Ohio 7,5 /10

Leveque Tower is very underrated!

7

small skyline

Beautiful skyline! Love the pics, especially the night one with the reflections in the water. 8.5

Better than I expected for a city of that size 8/10

Great skyline, lousy college football team...8.5/10

It's good skyline for city size. I like that 7.5/10 :)

I would've like larger and more pictures.

7.5

Looks good.

The LeVeque Tower looks nice. A beautyful example of Art Deco.

Skyline is quite small but is tall and dense 7.5/10

I haven't expected! 7.5/10

Average, but very pleasant. Every big city should be so lucky as to have a signature historic skyscraper. 7.

5/10 - very small, but it has some attractive buildings.

Columbus has quite the amazing skyline for its size, amazing heightage, I would definitely put it up against Cleveland and Cincinnati for the best skyline in Ohio. I was going to visit there last year to see an NHL game, but that is going to be delayed.

9/10

You know, I don't know what it is about Columbus' skyline I don't like??? Granted, I think that my city's leaves a bit to be desired too, but I am just not impressed with Columbus. There needs to be a modern "signature" tower.

Great medium-sized skyline that is too often overlooked. I give it a 7/10. :okay:

What is in Ohio, should stay in Ohio. That`s what I think.

It'll do. 6.5 (5.5 without the historic-looking white tower).

6.5/10, LeVeque is a beautiful building....but the rest isn't.

underrated city.. 7.5/10

6. Because it has a certien charm? :lol:

great skyline but not very well organized. some nice towers... 8/10

7/10

8/10

7.5/10

very nice. the best is proably the leveque. has anyone seen the supreme court building? it is the white marble building, with the green top, in front of the huntington building and vern riffe tower. the inside is amazing. i think it beats almost any other interior in ohio. columbus has a very nice skyline. miranova is amazing and it is the tallest residential building in the state and i think, i think, within a few states range(i.e. indiana, kentucky?, west virginia, eastern pennsylvania). i think it beats indianapolis' skyline anyday(im not saying anything against indy and i dont hate indy)

a very nicely balanced small city skyline, nice and compact but with decent hight. Have an 8

I have lived in Columbus for many years and I have always admired its skyline. It seems to be very orginized and it has some pretty unique and interesting buildings like the LeVeque Tower and the Huntington Center.

The Huntington Center is unique and beautiful and the Vern Riffe center isn't bad.... the Franklin County Court House is another beautiful skyscraper in Columbus!! At least there are no ugly buildings like in Indianspolis, Cleveland, or Cincinnati.

I have to work on inserting some images but for now--

Visit: http://www.urbanohio.com/--Click on Central Ohio, than Columbus, than skyline and you can at least get an idea of the full skyline along with more perspective on the buildings and their location.

Also: Some of the pics found on the above site along with a few more with added picture information--unfortunately they are all extremely condensed, nevertheless over 50 images, some more detailed images of specific buildings
http://photos.yahoo.com/nueveen881

Columbus is no New York but it's not bad for a city its size. It has 10 buildings over 400 feet. Granted some aren't as original or as tall as some comparable cities but all in all pretty good. Nevertheless, look at the pictures on either link to see for yourself.

7, It looks cool.

8!

I went there...downtown feels larger than in pictures...

But there are no memorable buildings and not enough density. But for a metro it's size, it isn't bad at all. Columbus is a great city...for sure.

7.5/10. :)

Which is bigger? Columbus of Cleveland? 8/10 BTW, looks like a nice place to live.

Not bad 7.5/10

Which is bigger? Columbus of Cleveland? 8/10 BTW, looks like a nice place to live.

Just going by city corporation limits, Columbus is larger(about 730,000) while Cleveland is at around 500,000. If you consider the urban areas however, Cleveland is much larger with about 2.25 million versus about 1.6 million for Columbus.

some aerial views of that cover most of the downtown area(very spread out)

The riverfront(long neglected and they are finally sprucing it up so to speak.
3 condo towers (one under construction, 2 planned) of 20, 21, and 23 floors along the riverfront area right now.

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/103/366123670_59387d934c.jpg?v=0

8 for me!!!

6/10

I hope Columbus, GA will look like that one day! I give it an 8.

nothing impressive but 6.5/10

a strong 7

8/10

The size and density is decent, but the architecture is lacking. I live in Columbus, and I think this city has some of the ugliest high rises I've ever seen. :ohno:

The only ones I like are the La Veque Tower, the Nationwide Building (mainly for its colorful night lighting), and the Miranova tower. The others range from "Nothing to write home about" like the Key, Motorist, and Rhodes buildings to just god damn ugly like the Huntington Center. I must say, the Huntington Center is one of the worst skyscrapers I've ever seen. Its recesses are inverted, and it's proportions look bloated.

The laveque is 10/10, the rest is 6.5-7/10.

I gave it 7.5/10

LeVeque diis one of the best buildings there is - most of the rest is average though.

Not a bad skyline.... when I was there the city was pretty much booming all around, I really liked the Arena District, some nice tall residential towers going in. It seemed like one of the newer American cities. 8/10

Good 7/10

7/10

8/10

Did people live in the scyscrapes or is it only companys in the scyscrapes?

7/10 love the older skyscraper

7/10

Columbus lacks major land formations such as rivers, lakes, hills etc. Because of this the buildings must stand on their own. Unfortunately, many of the newer towers are boring. So much so that I think they actually detract from the beauty of the Leveque Tower.

A couple more pictures showing the beautiful riverfront.

Beautiful skyline 8/10. Any proposals?

It's a great collection of different 20th century American style which can be viewed all at once. Edges out Cincinnati that way by far. Denser looking than even Cleveland.

8.0 for being all that.
