This list ranks the tallestskyscrapers andhigh-rises inMyanmar by height. It includes habitable buildings that stand at least 90 m (295 ft) tall but excludes non-habitable structures above 90 m, such as theYeywa Dam, theLaykyun Sekkya Buddha Statue, and theShwemawdaw Pagoda. For other tall structures, seeList of tallest structures in Myanmar.
As of 2025, Myanmar is the largest country inSoutheast Asia andASEAN to have no skyscrapers exceeding 150 meters in height as defined by theCouncil on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.[1] Most of the tallest buildings are located inYangon where zoning regulations restrict the maximum height of buildings to 127 m (417 ft) above sea level,[2][3] to ensure that no structure overtakes the height ofShwedagon Pagoda.[4] The tallest skyscraper in Myanmar is currently theDiamond Inya Palace in Yangon, which is 122 m (400 ft) tall.
The country's first ever attempt to construct a skyscraper taller than 150 meters was the proposed 555 Merchant Street, a 195 m (640 ft) building planned fordowntown Yangon.[5] The project faced intense opposition by local conservationists and was cancelled in 2014.[6] There were also plans for a 520 m (1,706 ft), 108-story skyscraper called Time 108 City, which would have been the second-tallest building in Southeast Asia and ASEAN after the 679-meterMerdeka 118 inKuala Lumpur,Malaysia. It is currently unknown whether this project has been cancelled.
The following list ranks completed skyscrapers and high-rises in Myanmar that stand at least 90 m (295 ft) based on the estimates by Emporis, unless otherwise stated. Because of the Emporis estimates, the list may not be fully accurate—in terms of inclusion and rankings. (Emporis estimates the height of buildings based on the number of floors; as a result, buildings with the same number of floors—regardless of the type (office or residential)—are estimated at the same height.[note 1]) Height estimates are denoted initalics.
The list may not be up-to-date.
