I think the average skyscraper is around $800 million. I mean, most small commercial buildings are about about $10 million, unless in the Bay Area, where that would buy you a fancy box. A good rule of thumb in skyscraper construction is about $7-15 million per story, although even this varies widely due to variations in local costs, taxes, and construction rates. Skyscrapers have become more and more expensive to build. For example, the Aon center in Chicago is 1,136 feet tall, and was completed in 1973 for less than $200 million. But the Trump International Hotel (also in Chicago) is 1,389 feet, and was completed in 2009 for more than $800 million!
