Tampa, the third-largest city in the U.S. state of Florida, is home to 168 completed high-rises,[1] 34 of which stand taller than 250 feet (76 m). The tallest building in Tampa is the 42-story 100 North Tampa, which rises 579 feet (176 m) and was completed in 1992.[2] The structure is the twenty ninth-tallest completed building in Florida and the tallest building in the state outside of Miami and Jacksonville.[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 30 tallest buildings in Florida, two are located in Tampa.[4]
Background
[edit]History
[edit]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
[edit]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]
Tallest buildings
[edit]This list ranks Tampa skyscrapers that stand at least 250 feet (76 m) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equal sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed.
