8. Boston
Number of skyscrapers in the city: 18
It is not surprising that capitals of states are frequently mentioned in the top US cities with most skyscrapers in 2015, mainly due to the fact that major companies are hosted there. Hence, it isn’t a surprise that most of the skyscrapers are located in the Financial District and Back Bay District of Boston, with the 241 meters tall John Hancock Tower, the tallest building in the city, located there as well.
