As one of the largest cities in the United States in the late 19th century, Baltimore is the site of some of the earliest high-rises in the country. Baltimore's first high-rise, the 10-story Equitable Building, was completed in 1883 and was followed by the Fidelity Building in 1893. An early construction boom lasted from the 1890s until the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. The fire destroyed 1,500 buildings, including some of the newly built towers.[2][3] Construction resumed from the 1910s to the 1920s. Notable skyscrapers include the Renaissance Revival Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower in 1911[4] and the Art Deco Bank of America Building in 1929.[5] Following the onset of the Great Depression, skyscraper development slowed over the next three decades.

The next period of high-rise construction lasted from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, during which the city saw the completion of the Transamerica Tower, the city's tallest building; the Baltimore World Trade Center, the tallest regular pentagonal skyscraper in the world; and the postmodern Commerce Place, featuring a tapering top. The Inner Harbor was largely developed during this period, with projects such as Harborplace.[6][7] In the early 21st century, high-rise development has spread further eastwards along the Patapsco River with the Inner Harbor East and Harbor Point neighborhoods. Baltimore's most recent major skyscraper is 414 Light Street, a 500 ft (152 m) residential building completed in 2018 as the city's third-tallest building.[8][9]

Baltimore's tallest buildings are concentrated in Downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor, northwest of the estuary of the Patapsco River. There are also several residential towers in the neighborhood of Mid-Town Belvedere, as well as high-rises around the campuses of Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland, Baltimore. In Baltimore's metropolitan area, there are an appreciable number of high-rises in the cities of Columbia and Towson. Due to height restrictions in nearby Washington D.C. as a result of the Height of Buildings Act of 1910, Baltimore has the tallest buildings in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area of over 10 million people.

The history of skyscrapers in Baltimore began with the completion in 1883 of the Equitable Building. The Equitable Building is located at the southwest corner of North Calvert and East Fayette Street, across from the Beaux Arts/Classical Revival architecture of the Baltimore City Courthouse and the landmark Battle Monument in Battle Monument Square, commemorating the fallen in the defense of the city during the 1814 Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. "The Equitable", as it became known, replaced an earlier landmark from 1825, Barnum's City Hotel, and was the first steel cage framed building with outside surface panels of stone hung on the frame, a new technique pioneered by Chicago architects like Louis Sullivan and Daniel Burnham.

The Fidelity Building was constructed shortly after in 1893. Both the Fidelity Building and the Equitable Building are regarded as the first high-rises in the city.[10] The Fidelity Building originally rose eight floors, but an additional seven stories with a terra cotta panels façade designed to match the original earlier grey granite rough-cut stone base, were constructed between 1912 and 1915, bringing the structure's total height to 220 feet (67 m), making it the first building in Baltimore to exceed 200 feet (61 m).[10]

Baltimore went through an early high-rise construction boom from the late 1890s to the Great Baltimore Fire of February 1904. During the fire, six of the new skyscraper's interiors burned out. Most were later judged by inspecting engineers/architects as structurally sound with their steel I-beam cage framing and masonry facades and were reconstructed and rehabilitated in the next five years in a flurry of downtown rebuilding. The next period from the 1910s to the late 1920s, during which time the Baltimore Trust Company Tower (now the Bank of America Building) were constructed.

The city's central business district then experienced a long fallow period due to the Great Depression of the 1930s and the defense industrial efforts of World War II. Very few skyscrapers were constructed during this period, and downtown remained relatively stable. The release of the Charles Center project proposal by the recently organized Greater Baltimore Committee and the local Chamber of Commerce contributed to the beginning of another construction boom from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. This was followed by the "Inner Harbor" redevelopment around the old waterfront piers, wharves, warehouses, offices and businesses of the former "Basin" along the Baltimore Harbor at the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River. Among the buildings completed in the second half of the 20th century include the United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company's new headquarters (later the Legg Mason Building, now the Transamerica Tower) at the corner of the harbor at Pratt and Light Streets, and the five-sides/pentagonal high-rise centerpiece of the harbor, the Baltimore World Trade Center for the Maryland Port Administration in 1977.
