Tall high-rises in Eindhoven are a relatively recent phenomenon. For most of the late 20th century, the tallest multistorey building in Eindhoven was Boschdijk 525, a 15-storey office tower built in 1964. It served as the headquarters for Dutch technology company Philips until the company moved its head offices to Amsterdam in 1997. Boschdijk 525 was surpassed by De Regent, a 96 m (315 ft), 32-story residential tower, in 1999. With the exception of De Regent, every building taller than 75 m (246 ft) in Eindhoven were built after 2000. In the 2000s, both De Admirant and Porthos overtook De Regent and became the city's two tallest buildings.
In the 2020s, Eindhoven's skyline is undergoing significant growth.[3][4][5] Tall buildings are seen as a response to a housing shortage, as the city has attracted new residents due to its tech industry.[6][7] Local planning regulations were relaxed to allow towers higher than 105 m (344 ft) in 2019.[8] Two residential high-rises have since surpassed De Admirant in height: Bunker Tower in 2022, and Lighthouse in 2025. The District E project is a proposed development that would see the fruition of a high-rise nearly 150 m (492 ft) in height,[9][7] while another proposal, The Dutch Mountains, would become the tallest wooden building in the world at a height of over 130 m (427 ft) if built.[10][11]
Most of Eindhoven's tallest buildings are located in the city centre, particularly in the Centrum area and the Strijp-S neighborhood, which was a former industrial park belonging to Philips.
