Cities across the United States are in the middle of a multi-year boom in construction, fueled by local-and foreign-investment and a need for thousands of new apartments.

The surge comes a decade after the Great Recession halted construction and stalled projects nationwide.

According to a Stateline analysis of inflation-adjusted data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the construction industry's impact on U.S. gross domestic product has grown by more than 21 percent since its recession low point in 2011, and in 2016, construction's contribution to the U.S. economy soared above $650 billion for the first time since 2008.

These facts and figures all mean one thing: The skylines of cities are changing. Supertall skyscrapers measuring over 984 feet are currently under construction or have recently debuted in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, while other cities, like Boston, Austin, and Philadelphia, are prepping for new high-rises of their own.

All of the projects listed below will fundamentally change their cities, whether by redeveloping a long-neglected area or debuting one of the tallest observation decks in the country. So without further ado, may we present the 13 most important construction projects and developments happening right now in the United States.

Vista Tower in Chicago

Vista Tower also has some unique backing: A Chicago-based developer teamed up with a Chinese developer, signaling the type of foreign investment that is much more common in cities like Miami and New York.

Salesforce Tower in San Francisco

It's hard to pick just one important development in a city like San Francisco, especially when the skyline is crowded with cranes and enormous transit projects like the $1.5-billion-plus Central Subway are boring tunnels underground.

The 6AM Development in Los Angeles

2016 was a big year for skyscrapers in Los Angeles. The 73-story Wilshire Grand Center was crowned with a decorative spire that reaches a height of 1,100 feet, making it the tallest building in the city. Meanwhile, the second-tallest building-the US Bank Tower-made headlines in 2016 thanks to the hair-raising glass slide attached to its exterior, which dropped from the 70th to the 69th floor-nearly 1,000 feet in the air.

Not to be outdone, 2017 looks to bring even more high-rise action, with Curbed Los Angeles mapping 20 tall buildings that are planned or currently under construction. The most important just might be the 6AM development: two 58-story towers on Alameda Street that will radically alter LA's hot Arts District.

As the first skyscrapers proposed for the neighborhood, the towers will be designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron and will feature an industrial-warehouse style and incorporate local art. When it's finished, locals can expect housing, a school, offices, and retail-much of it framed in concrete and left intentionally blank to "encourage murals and other evolutionary art responses."

One Vanderbilt in New York City

It's almost impossible to stay on top of all the construction happening in New York City, whether it's the building boom in Hudson Yards or the plethora of new developments popping up along the High Line in neighboring West Chelsea.

Nowhere else in the United States boasts as many skyscrapers, and New York City's boom hasn't been limited to "regular" high-rise construction. According to Curbed New York, many of the city's highest-profile developments, from One World Trade Center to Central Park Tower, all exceed the 984-foot limit that takes a building from merely tall to supertall.

On the street level, One Vanderbilt will add a public plaza and new connections to the subway and Metro-North, including a huge new entrance for the 4/5/6 lines. Construction began in October 2016 and has been moving along at a good clip; earlier in February builders poured the supertall's enormous foundation (think 8,500 tons of concrete).

The Comcast Technology Center in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's newest tower will rise 60 stories, and the second $1.5 billion Comcast tower has already staked its place in the Philly skyline. When it's complete, the building-which was designed by architect Lord Norman Foster of Foster + Partners-will be the tallest in the city and serve as headquarters for Comcast employees and include a Four Seasons Hotel and three condo units-all owned by the company's CEO.

The Hudson's Site Development in Detroit

Before this month, locals might have chosen the highly anticipated Little Caesars Arena as the most important development in Detroit. The arena is nearing completion and will serve not only as the base for the Red Wings and Pistons, but also as an office and retail hub that fills the district between downtown and Midtown.

Head over here for 24 of Detroit's biggest construction projects that have already broken ground.

The Washington State Convention Center in Seattle

If there was any doubt that Seattle is changing quickly, just take a look at this statistic: 62 cranes decorated the Seattle skyline at the end of 2016- more cranes than any other U.S. city. Seattle is also betting big on transportation (to the tune of a $50 billion rail expansion) in an effort to reduce traffic.

The Atlanta Falcons Stadium in Atlanta

Called the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new home of Atlanta football is a $1.5 billion venture that is years in the making. The HOK-designed stadium, which is scheduled to open this summer, will feature a retractable roof in the shape of a pinwheel that's inspired by the Roman Pantheon.

The Independent in Austin

While the Independent is currently under construction, it's not scheduled to open until 2018. Nevertheless, more than half of its 370 residential units, which range from from $424,000 to more than $3.29 million, have been sold. Thirteen thousand five hundred square feet of retail and restaurant space is also planned.

See 23 other construction projects changing the Austin skyline over here.

The Children's Hospital campus expansion in New Orleans

New Orleans doesn't have the same amount of construction as many of the other cities on this list, but that doesn't mean things are stagnant. Supertalls may not be in the mix, but the Big Easy has its fair share of new apartment complexes, hotels, and renovations.

One of the largest projects is the expansion and renovation of the New Orleans Children's Hospital. Costing $225 million, the multi-year development will include a new same-day surgery unit, a cardiac intensive care unit, a neonatal cardiac intensive care unit, a cancer center, a 400-car garage, and a newly designed entrance and lobby.

Check out the other 10 major construction projects happening in New Orleans over here.

He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –

Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –

Since then – ‘tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day

Who Is Michael Phelps?

Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985) is a retired American swimmer who holds the record for the most Olympics medals won by any athlete at 28, including 23 gold medals and 13 individual golds. Phelps competed in his first Olympics at the age of 15, as part of the U.S. men's swim team. He was the first American male swimmer to earn a spot on five Olympic teams and also made history as the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympic swimming history at the age of 28.

Michael Phelps' Medals and Records

Michael Phelps has accumulated a total of 28 medals at the Olympic Summer Games in Athens, Beijing, London and Rio - 23 gold, three silver and two bronze - setting the record for the most medal wins by any Olympic athlete. At the 2016 Olympic Games, he won one silver and five gold medals, becoming the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympic swimming history, as well as the first swimmer to win four consecutive golds in the same event, the 200-meter individual medley. Phelps has set 39 world records, the most of all time.

Michael Phelps' Top Speed

When he broke the world record in the 100-meter butterfly at the 2009 World Championships, Michael Phelps swam at an astonishingly speedy (or at least by human standards) 5.5 miles per hour. ESPN has put Phelps' top swimming speed at 6 miles per hour.

Michael Phelps vs. Shark

For the Discovery Channel's July 2017 Shark Week, Michael Phelps raced several breeds of sharks. The team developed a special device to measure each shark's speed using bait. Phelps wore a monofin to approximate the movements of a shark (and get a bit of added propulsion). They did not swim the 100 meters side by side but rather individually in the same open water, with CGI images of the sharks displayed alongside Phelps as he raced. Their times were later compared.

"Honestly, my first thought when I saw the shark was, 'There's very little chance for me to beat him,'" Phelps said.

The hammerhead shark swam the distance at 15 miles per hour, while the great white shark swam at a whopping 26 miles per hour. Phelps only beat the reef shark by 0.2 seconds, clocking in at 6 miles per hour.

Wife, Nicole Johnson

Michael Phelps married Nicole Johnson on June 13, 2016. After dating on and off since 2011, Phelps popped the question in February 2015. The couple were married in a private ceremony in Paradise Valley, Arizona, although their wedding was kept secret until TMZ broke the news in October 2016.

Son, Boomer Phelps

On May 5, 2016, Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson became parents to a baby boy they named Boomer Robert Phelps. In August 2017, the couple announced that they are expecting their second child.

Michael Phelps' Net Worth

As of January 2018, Michael Phelps' estimated net worth is at around $55 to $60 million, mostly from lucrative endorsement deals with companies including Under Armour, Omega, Master Spas and Visa.

Michael Phelps' Diet and Daily Calories

During an interview in the midst of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, Michael Phelps told NBC that he ate 12,000 calories per day to fuel his five-hour, six-days-per-week training leading up to the Games. His diet reportedly consisted of hefty choices like two pounds of pasta and entire pizzas.

"Eat, sleep and swim. That's all I can do. Get some calories into my system and try to recover the best I can," Phelps said at the time.

However in June 2017, he cleared up his eating habits:

"Don't believe everything you read. The stories were just ridiculous. I was probably eating anywhere between like 8 to 10 [thousand] probably at my peak where I was really growing. Still, it became a job," he said at an event in New York City.

Michael Phelps' Height

Michael Phelps is just under 6 feet, 4 inches tall. He has a disproportionately large wingspan, reaching a bit less than 6 feet 7 inches from fingertip to fingertip, and a torso with measurements that are more common in a man who measures 6 feet 8 inches tall.

When and Where Was Michael Phelps Born?

Michael Phelps was born on June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Family and Early Life

The youngest of three children, Michael Phelps grew up in the neighborhood of Rodgers Forge. His father, Fred, an all-around athlete, was a state trooper; mother Debbie was a middle-school principal. When Phelps' parents divorced in 1994, he and his sisters lived with their mother, with whom Michael grew very close.

Phelps began swimming when his two older sisters, Whitney (born in 1978) and Hilary (born in 1980), joined a local swim team. Whitney tried out for the U.S. Olympic team in 1996, at the age of 15, but injuries derailed her career. At age seven, Phelps was still "a little scared" to put his head under water, so his instructors allowed him to float around on his back. Not surprisingly, the first stroke he mastered was the backstroke.

After he saw swimmers Tom Malchow and Tom Dolan compete at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, Phelps began to dream of becoming a champion. He launched his swimming career at the Loyola High School pool. He met his coach, Bob Bowman, when he started training at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club at the Meadowbrook Aquatic and Fitness Center. The coach immediately recognized Phelps' talents and fierce sense of competition and began an intense training regime together. By 1999, Phelps had made the U.S. National B Team.

2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney

At the age of 15, Phelps became the youngest American male swimmer to compete at an Olympic Games in 68 years. While he didn't win a medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he would soon become a major force in competitive swimming.

First World Records

In the spring of 2001, Phelps set the world record in the 200-meter butterfly, becoming the youngest male swimmer in history (at 15 years and 9 months) to ever set a world swimming record.

Phelps then broke his own record at the 2001 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, with a time of 1:54:58, earning his first international medal.

Phelps continued to set new marks at the 2002 U.S. Summer Nationals in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, establishing a new world record for the 400-meter individual medley, and U.S. records in the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley. The following year, at the same event, he broke his own world record in the 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4:09.09.

Shortly after graduating from Towson in 2003, 17-year-old Phelps set five world records, including the 200-meter individual medley at the World Championships in Barcelona, Spain, with a time of 1:56:04. Then during the U.S. trials for the 2004 Summer Olympics, he broke his own world again in the 400 meter individual medley, with a time of 4:08:41.

2004 Summer Olympics in Athens

Phelps became a superstar at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, winning eight medals (including six gold), tying with Soviet gymnast Aleksandr Dityatin (1980) for the most medals in a single Olympic Games.

Phelps scored the first of six gold medals on August 14, when he broke his own world record in the 400-meter individual medley, shaving 0.15 seconds off of his previous mark. He also won gold in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly, 200-meter individual medley, 4-by-200-meter freestyle relay and 4-by-100-meter medley relay). The two events in Athens, in which Phelps took bronze medals, were 200-meter freestyle and the 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay.

University

Michael Phelps followed his coach to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where Bowman coached the Wolverines' swim team, to study sports marketing and management. Meanwhile, Phelps continued to establish world records at the 2006 Pan Pacific Championships in Victoria, British Columbia, and the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.

2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing

At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, Phelps won his 14th career gold medal, the most gold won by any Olympian - surpassing swimmer Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven golds. He also set the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympics by winning eight gold medals, in the 4-by-100-meter medley relay, 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay, 200-meter freestyle, 200-meter butterfly, 4-by-200-meter freestyle relay, 200-meter individual medley and 100-meter butterfly. Every gold medal performance set a new world record, except the 100-meter butterfly, which set an Olympic record.

2012 Summer Olympics in London

At the 2012 Olympic Games, held in London, Phelps' Olympic medal count increased to 22, setting a new record for most Olympic medals (beating gymnast Larisa Latynina's prior record of 18). He won four gold medals, in the 4-by-200-meter freestyle relay, 200-meter individual medley, 100-meter butterfly and 4-by-100-meter medley relay; and two silver medals, in the 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay and 200-meter butterfly.

Temporary Retirement in 2012

After the London Olympics in 2012, Phelps announced he was retiring from swimming. However he gave some indication of a possible return in July 2013 and would not rule out a possible Olympic bid for the 2016 summer games. In April 2014, Phelps put the retirement rumors to rest and announced plans to compete at the Mesa Grand Prix in Arizona.

Meanwhile, the sports world continued to speculate whether Phelps would compete in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. His longtime coach Bob Bowman told the Washington Post:

"I don't know yet. Honestly, we're kind of taking it day by day. I don't think either one of us has real expectations other than to have fun, see what happens and go from there. Unlike previous years, there's no long-term plan."

While Phelps did compete at the Mesa Grand Prix, he made a more impressive showing at the Pan Pacific Championships held that summer in Australia, winning three golds and two silvers.

2016 Summer Olympics in Rio

On June 29, 2016, Michael Phelps celebrated a huge comeback when he became the first American male swimmer to earn a spot on five Olympic teams. His then-girlfriend Nicole Johnson, their baby, Boomer, and Phelps' mother Debbie watched the Olympic legend break history from the stands in Rio.

On August 7, 2016, Phelps clinched his 19th Olympic gold medal in Rio swimming the second leg of the men's 400 freestyle relay. He went on to win gold in both the 200-meter butterfly and in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay along with Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Ryan Lochte.

"Doing a double like that is a lot harder now than what it once was," Phelps said about competing in the races at the age of 31. "That is for sure."

Phelps went on to compete in the 200-meter individual medley, an event dubbed "the Duel in the Pool" because he faced off against friend, teammate and rival Ryan Lochte, the world record holder in the race. Phelps dominated the race, winning gold in over a body-length at 1:54.66 seconds, right behind Lochte's record of 1:54.00. Lochte failed to medal. Phelps' victory made him the first swimmer to win four consecutive golds in the same event.

"I say this a lot, but every single day I'm living a dream come true," Phelps told NBC Sports. "As a kid, I wanted to do something that no one had ever done before, and I'm enjoying it. Being able to finish how I won is just something very special to me and this is why you are seeing more and more emotion on the medal podium."

Phelps then competed in the 100-meter butterfly, tying for the silver medal with Laszlo Cseh of Hungary and Chad le Clos of South Africa. Joseph Schooling of Singapore, a 21-year-old swimmer who idolized Phelps when he was boy, won the gold.

In another emotional victory, Phelps took gold again in his final Olympic race, helping the U.S. team take the top spot in the 4x100-meter medley relay with teammates Ryan Murphy, Cody Miller and Nathan Adrian. Upon finishing, the most decorated Olympian in history received a standing ovation from the crowd.

In a huddle with his teammates following the race, Phelps felt the emotion of the moment, according to the New York Times. "That's kind of when everything started to hit harder, knowing that was the last time I'll wear the Stars and Stripes in a race," he said.

Michael Phelps' Retirement

Although his teammate Ryan Lochte told media outlets that Phelps would be back in 2020, Michael Phelps confirmed to reporters that he was retiring following the 2016 Summer Olympics.

"I've been able to do everything I've ever put my mind to in this sport. And 24 years in the sport. I'm happy with how things finished," he said.

"I'm ready to retire. I'm happy about it. I'm in a better state of mind this time than I was four years ago. And yeah. . .I'm ready to spend some time with (baby son) Boomer and (fiancee) Nicole."

Michael Phelps' Books

In addition to his successful swim career, Phelps has written two books, Beneath the Surface: My Story (2008) and No Limits: The Will to Succeed (2009).

Swim with the Stars

Phelps co-founded the nonprofit organization Swim with the Stars, which holds camps for swimmers of all ages.

Michael Phelps' DUIs

Just weeks following his triumph in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Salisbury, Maryland, after cruising through a stop sign. He pleaded guilty to driving while impaired, was sentenced to 18 months probation, fined $250, ordered to speak against drinking and driving to high school students, and ordered to attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving meeting. Michael called it an "isolated incident," but admitted to letting himself and his family down.

In the fall of 2014, Phelps was arrested again in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland in September for driving under the influence, speeding and crossing double lines. He took to Twitter to discuss this incident, writing "I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility." Phelps also apologized to "everyone I have let down."
