The Chinese city of Changsha is home to 85 skyscrapers with a height of over 150 metres (492 feet) as of 2025, 46 of which are taller than 200 m (656 ft). Changsha is the capital and largest city of the Chinese province of Hunan, with a population of 10.5 million and an urban population of over 5.9 million. It is a major financial, industrial, and research center in southern China.

Few skyscrapers were built in Changsha before 2010, with the most significant being the Lotus Garden China Telecom Building, a 208 m (682 ft) office tower completed in 2003. Beginning from the mid-2010s, Changsha underwent a major high-rise boom, owing to the city's rapidly growing population.[2] It has since seen a massive growth in the number of skyscrapers in the city. The record for the city's tallest building was broken several times between 2014 and 2018, when the current tallest building, Changsha IFS Tower T1, was completed.[3] The office and hotel skyscraper is 452 m (1,483 ft) tall, and is the 20th tallest building in the world.

After the construction of its first supertall skyscraper (buildings measuring over 300 metres in height) in 2017, Huachuang International Plaza Tower 1, Changsha added four more supertall skyscrapers in a short span of four years. As of 2025, Changsha has six supertall skyscrapers; it is hence tied with Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, and Nanning as the city with the ninth most supertall skyscrapers in the world.

Many of Changsha's skyscrapers can be found in the central districts of Kaifu and Furong, near the Xiang River. Additionally, there is a cluster of tall buildings located in the subdistrict of Meixihu, surrounding Meixi Lake, including the city's newest supertall building, the Meixi Lake Changsha Jinmao Building. Another notable high-rise is J57 Mini Sky City, which was built in 2015 in only 19 days.[4] The developer, Broad Group, had previously planned to build a 838 m (2749 ft) building named Sky City, which would have been the tallest building in the world. The project stalled in 2013, and the site has been repurposed as a fish farm.[5]
