Cincinnati is the third largest city in theU.S. state ofOhio, with a metropolitan area population of 2.3 million. The economic hub of southwestern Ohio, Cincinnati is home to over 120 high-rises,[1] 41 of which have a height greater than 200 feet (61 m) as of 2026. It has the third highest number of skyscrapers taller than 300 feet (91 m) of any city in Ohio, afterCleveland andColumbus, with 17 such buildings. The tallest building in Cincinnati is theGreat American Tower at Queen City Square, a 665 ft (203 m), 40-story office building that was completed in 2011. It is the third-tallest building in Ohio, and the tallest completed in the state during the 21st century.
One of the largest cities in the United States at the turn of the 20th century, Cincinnati was the site of first skyscraper taller than 492 ft (150 m) outside ofNew York City. Completed in 1913, theHellenic-inspiredFourth and Vine Tower was the fifth-tallest building in the world at the time at 495 ft (151 m). It was the tallest outside of New York City andPhiladelphia.[2] An early construction boom occurred during the late 1920s, which culminated with an even taller skyscraper onVine Street, the 574 ft (175 m)Carew Tower, in 1930. Part of a three-towermixed-useArt Deco complex, the Carew Tower made Cincinnati the fourth city in the world more than one building taller than 492 ft (150 m), after New York City,Chicago, andDetroit.
Another boom took place from the 1950s until the 1990s, especially from the mid-1970s onwards. Several buildings from this era serve as notable corporate headquarters, such as theKroger Building for the epnoymous retail company,Fifth Third Center forFifth Third Bank, and theScripps Center for theE. W. Scripps Company.Procter & Gamble's headquarters include twinpostmodern towers.[3] Columbia Plaza andMacy's Building were former headquarters ofChiquita andMacy's, Inc., respectively. Since the 1990s, few tall buildings have been constructed in Cincinnati, with the notable exception of the Great American Tower at Queen City Square in 2011. The building's tiara-shaped top ended the Carew Tower's 80-year long reign as Cincinnati's tallest building. In recent years, a number of commercial buildings have been converted into residential use, including the Fourth and Vine Tower and Macy's Building.[4][5] Conversion of the Carew Tower into apartments is ongoing.[6]
Most of the city's high-rises are located inDowntown Cincinnati, which is surrounded byInterstate 71 andInterstate 75. The former separates the downtown skyline from theOhio River to the south. Between Interstate 71 and the river are two of the city's most famous stadiums, thePaycor Stadium and theGreat American Ball Park. TheUniversity of Cincinnati containsCrosley Tower and the former Sanders Hall. Directly across the Ohio River isCovington, Kentucky, where several few high-rises sit along the river. Cincinnati's skyline was the inspiration for the name of Skyline Chili, a chain ofCincinnati-style chilirestaurants. The restaurant's logo features a silhouette of the city's skyline.
