List of tallest buildings in Atlanta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Atlanta is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Georgia, with a metropolitan area of 6.4 million. As of 2026, Atlanta is home to 125 high-rise buildings over 300 feet (91 m) tall, and has the fifth most in the United States after New York City, Chicago, Miami, and Houston. 18 of these buildings are skyscrapers taller than 492 ft (150 m). Atlanta's skyline is the second largest in the Southern United States, after Miami. The tallest building in the city is the Bank of America Plaza between Downtown and Midtown Atlanta, the city's only supertall skyscraper.[1] It was completed in 1992 at a height of 1,023 ft (312 m). Of the 20 tallest buildings in Georgia, 18 are located in Atlanta;[2] the other two, Concourse Corporate Center V & VI, are in the neighboring city of Sandy Springs.

Early high-rises in Atlanta include the Flatiron Building, completed in 1897, five years before New York City's building of the same name; the Candler Building; and the romanesque Rhodes–Haverty Building. However, Atlanta's skyline remained short until the 1960s, with the topping out of One Park Tower. Atlanta's building boom accelerated in the 1980s, culminating in the completion of three of the city's four tallest buildings in 1992. Initially, skyscraper development in Atlanta occurred largely in Downtown. Midtown Atlanta would see increased development from the 1980s onwards.

In the early 21st century, high-rise development has continued to shift towards Midtown. The Atlantic Station project resulted in a new mixed-use high-rise neighborhood in the northwest of Midtown. This period also saw significant development in central Buckhead, including the addition of its tallest building, 3344 Peachtree, in 2008. Following a period of little high-rise construction after the Great Recession, Atlanta underwent another building boom beginning in the mid-2010s. Development mainly occurred in Midtown, where many residential towers have been built upon surface parking lots.[3][4] Between 2000 and 2023, Atlanta more than doubled its number of buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m) from 55 to 115.

Unlike many American cities where the tallest buildings are concentrated in a single area, Atlanta's skyscrapers are primarily found in three neighborhoods: Downtown Atlanta, Midtown Atlanta, and Buckhead. They form a skyline that mainly runs northwards from Downtown Atlanta to Buckhead, centered around Peachtree Street, a major thoroughfare. In Midtown, the skyline is bounded to the west by Interstate-85. Between Midtown and central Buckhead, shorter high-rises line both sides of Peachtree Street. Since the 2010s, new developments have formed small clusters of high-rises in West Midtown and Old Fourth Ward. In Metro Atlanta, the cities of Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Brookhaven form the northern business district of Perimeter Center, which contains a substantial number of office towers. To a lesser extent, commercial high-rises can also be found in Cumberland and Vinings; high-rises are rare in the rest of the metropolitan area, which mostly consists of single-family homes.

The history of skyscrapers in Atlanta began with the completion in of the eight-story Equitable Building in 1892.[5] Early high-rises include the Flatiron Building, completed in 1897, five years before New York City's building of the same name; the Candler Building; and the romanesque Rhodes–Haverty Building. However, Atlanta's skyline remained under 300 ft (91 m) until the 1960s, with the topping out of One Park Tower. The following two decades would see the construction of increasingly tall office skyscrapers, despite the city losing over 100,000 residents during this time. Atlanta's building boom accelerated in the 1980s, culminating in the completion of the city's three of the city's four tallest buildings in 1992. These were Truist Plaza, Atlanta's second-tallest building; 191 Peachtree Tower, Atlanta's fourth-tallest; and Bank of America Plaza. Initially, skyscraper development in Atlanta occurred largely in Downtown. Midtown Atlanta received its first major high-rise development, Colony Square, in 1973, and would see further development in the 1980s. One Atlantic Center, the city's third-tallest building, was completed in 1987.

Skyscraper construction slowed considerably in the mid-1990s, but resumed in the 2000s, as the city's population and economy rebounded. High-rise development shifted increasingly towards Midtown, which was undergoing a transformation into a high-density residential area; the Atlantic Station project resulted in a new mixed-use high-rise neighborhood in the northwest of Midtown, across the I-85. The decade also saw significant development in central Buckhead, including the addition of its tallest building, 3344 Peachtree, in 2008. While the Great Recession paused construction again in the early 2010s, Midtown remained a target for high-rise development. Large number of parking lots have been replaced by residential towers.[3][4] In 2023, construction began on 1072 West Peachtree Street, planned to reach a height of 749 ft (228.3 m); when completed in 2026, it will be Atlanta's tallest new building in over 30 years.[6] In Downtown, the Centennial Yards development broke ground in 2024; the project, which includes multiple towers, aims to transform the site of a former railyard into a new mixed-use district.[7]

Several of the downtown buildings were damaged in a major tornado in March 2008, scattering glass from several hundred feet. It took workers several days to clean the buildings and remove all of the loose shards of glass from the skyscrapers. No structural damage was reported, and by late 2010 each skyscraper had all of its windows replaced. Window blinds and other office objects from the tall buildings were found as far away as Oakland Cemetery.[8][9]
