List of tallest buildings in Tampa

History

The history of skyscrapers in Tampa began with the completion of the Citizens Bank Building in 1913; this building is often regarded as the first high-rise in the city, rising 10 stories. Later in the 1920s, two more stories were added to reach 145 feet (44 m) in height.^[5] The city's first skyscraper to surpass 250 feet (76 m) was the 280-foot (85 m) Franklin Exchange Building, completed in 1966.^[6] Tampa went through a large high-rise construction boom that has lasted from the completion of One Tampa City Center in 1981 to the present; during this time, the city has seen the completion of 16 of its 18 tallest buildings, including 100 North Tampa and the Bank of America Plaza. Although no Tampa skyscrapers rank among the tallest in the United States, the city is home to four buildings rising higher than 500 feet (152 m). As of May 2022^[update], Tampa ranks second in the state in skyscraper count, behind Miami, which is the site of 298 skyscrapers.^[1][7]

Present

Tampa's skyscraper construction has continued to the present; since 2000, twenty buildings rising higher than 250 feet (76 m) have been completed. The latest, Tampa EDITION Hotel & Residences, rises 319 feet (97 m) in height and was completed in 2022. Tampa EDITION Hotel & Residences stands as the forthteenth-tallest building in Tampa, behind the 326-foot (99 m) Tampa Marriott Water Street. As of May 2022, there are 20 high-rises under construction, approved, and proposed for construction in the city.^[1]
