Charlotte, the largest city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, is the site of 49 completed high-rises over 197 feet (60 m), 6 of which stand taller than 492 feet (150 m).[1][2][3] The tallest building in the city is the Bank of America Corporate Center, which rises 871 feet (265 m) in Uptown Charlotte and was completed in 1992. It also stands as the tallest building in North Carolina and the 33rd-tallest building in the United States.[4][5] The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the Duke Energy Center, which rises 786 feet (240 m) and was completed in 2010.[6] The Hearst Tower, completed in 2002 and rising 659 feet (201 m), is the third-tallest building in Charlotte.[7] Nine of the ten tallest buildings in North Carolina are located in Charlotte.[8]
The history of skyscrapers in the city began with the construction of the Independence Building in 1909. This building, rising 186 feet (57 m) and 14 floors,[9] is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Charlotte;[10] despite having been added to the Registered Historic Place in 1978, it was demolished in 1981 to allow for the construction of 101 Independence Center.[9] Charlotte's first building standing more than 492 feet (150 m) tall was the Bank of America Plaza, completed in 1974.[11] There are currently[update] four buildings under construction that are planned to rise at least 197 feet (60 m) or at least 15 floors.[2][3][12] Overall, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat ranks Charlotte's skyline (based on existing and under construction buildings over 492 feet (150 m) tall) 4th in the Southeastern United States (after Miami, Atlanta and Sunny Isles Beach), 6th in the Southern United States (after Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Sunny Isles Beach), and 19th in the United States.[a]
