Skyline of Tampa (Use cursor to identify buildings)

This list of tallest buildings in Tampa ranks skyscrapers and high-rises in the U.S. city of Tampa, Florida by height. The tallest building in the city is the 42-story 100 North Tampa, which rises 579 feet (176 m) and was completed in 1992.[1] The structure is the fifteenth-tallest completed building in Florida, and the tallest building in the state outside of Miami and Jacksonville.[1][2] The city's second-tallest building is the Bank of America Plaza, which rises 42 stories and 577 feet (176 m) in height.[3] The building was damaged in a 2002 plane crash, in which a young pilot stole and crashed a Cessna 172 into the building's north face.[3] Overall, of the 20 tallest buildings in Florida, two are located in Tampa.[2]

The history of skyscrapers in Tampa began with the completion of the Citizens Bank Building in 1913; this building stood as the first high-rise in the city, rising 12 stories and 145 feet (44 m) in height.[4] The city's first skyscraper to surpass 250 feet (76 m) was the 280-foot (85 m) Franklin Exchange Building, completed in 1966.[5] 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). Overall, the skyline of Tampa is ranked (based upon existing and under construction buildings over 500 feet (152 m) tall) second in Florida (after Miami), sixth in the Southern United States (after Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Charlotte) and 20th in the United States.[A] As of June 2008, there are 69 completed high-rises in the city.[6] Tampa ranks second in the state in high-rise count, behind Miami, which is the site of 261 high-rises.[7]

Tampa's skyscraper construction has continued to the present; since 2000, six buildings rising higher than 250 feet (76 m) have been completed. As of June 2008, Element is already completed, and rises 34 floors and 460 feet (140 m) in height.[8] Element stands as the fifth-tallest building in Tampa, behind the 525-foot (160 m) SunTrust Financial Centre.[9] As of June 2008, there are three high-rises under construction in the city, one approved for construction, and an additional five proposed but not yet approved for construction.[6]
