List of tallest buildings in the United States

None

Summary

None

[[One World Trade Center]] (center) in New York City is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. [[8 Spruce Street]] can be seen on the right.

The world's first skyscraper was built in Chicago in 1885. Since then, the United States has been home to some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. New York City, and especially the borough of Manhattan, has the tallest skyline in the country. Eleven American buildings have held the title of tallest building in the world. New York City and Chicago have been the centers of American skyscraper building. The 10-story Home Insurance Building, built in Chicago in 1885, is regarded as the world's first skyscraper; the building was constructed using a novel steel-loadbearing frame which became a standard of the industry worldwide.

Since its topping out in 2013, One World Trade Center in New York City has been the tallest skyscraper in the United States. Its spire brings the structure to a symbolic architectural height of 1776 ft, connoting the year the Declaration of Independence was signed, though the absolute tip (or pinnacle) of the structure is measured at 1792 ft. However, the observation deck elevation and the height to the highest occupied floor of One World Trade Center are surpassed by Central Park Tower, 432 Park Avenue, 111 West 57th Street, and Chicago's Willis Tower, which was formerly and is still commonly known as Sears Tower. Tribune East Tower in Chicago, 350 Park Avenue, and 175 Park Avenue, in New York City will also have higher occupied floors and roofs upon their completion.

Prior to the September 11 attacks in New York City, the twin towers of the first World Trade Center occupied the second and third positions on the list below. The North Tower (1 WTC) stood at 1368 ft, while the South Tower (2 WTC) was 1362 ft tall, then surpassed only by the Willis Tower at 1,450 ft. If they were still standing today, they would occupy the ninth and tenth positions on the list below, with their replacement—the new One World Trade Center—being excluded.

There are numerous skyscrapers and supertall buildings both proposed and under construction throughout the country, concentrated in Chicago, New York City, and Miami. 740 Eighth Avenue, in New York City, is currently under construction, as well as the Waldorf Astoria in Miami. In Chicago, work for Tribune East Tower has not begun but tentatively planned to start in February 2024. Other tall buildings that are proposed include the 1907 ft Legends Tower in Oklahoma City, and the 1010 ft One Bayfront Plaza in Miami.
