Tampa is the largest city on theGulf Coast of theU.S. state ofFlorida, with over 3.4 million inhabitants residing in theTampa Bay Area.[1] The city is home to 50 high-rises that stand taller than 200 feet (61 m), 16 of which have a height greater than 300 feet (91 m), the most of any city in Florida outside of theMiami metropolitan area. The tallest building in Tampa is the 42-story100 North Tampa, which rises 579 feet (176 m) and was completed in 1992.[2] The structure is the tallest building in the state outside of the Miami metropolitan area andJacksonville. Together withSt. Petersburg, the Tampa Bay Area has 28 buildings taller than 300 feet (91 m).
Tampa's first high-rise is regarded to be theCitizens Bank Building, built in 1913 to a height of 10 stories. TheHotel Floridan was the first to surpass 200 feet (61 m) when it was completed in 1926, being 230 feet (70 m) tall. It remained as the tallest building in Tampa for four decades until 1966, with the opening of the 280-foot (85 m)Franklin Exchange Building. From the 1970s to early 1990s, Tampa underwent a high-rise construction boom that reshaped its downtown skyline, in addition to a growing number of residential towers alongBayshore Boulevard. 100 North Tampa, Bank of America Plaza,One Tampa City Center, andTruist Place—Tampa's four tallest buildings, as well as the cylindricalRivergate Tower—were completed between 1981 and 1992.
Tampa's skyline has grown substantially in the early 21st century, with the city doubling its count of 200-foot (61 m) buildings between 2000 to 2020, from 19 to 39. A brief surge in high-rise development took place before theGreat Recession, of which the tallest new building was Element, the city's tallest residential building. Another construction boom began in the second half of the 2010s. The ongoing boom has seen the skyline expand eastwards to theChannel District and the newWater Street neighborhood, development of which began in 2017.[3] The tallest building in Water Street, the 319 foot (97 m) Tampa EDITION, was completed in 2022. Tampa's current high-rise boom is ocurring alongside a similar boom inSt. Petersburg.[4]
The majority of high-rises in Tampa are located in downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. The main downtown skyline is bounded to the west by theHillsborough River, while theLee Roy Selmon Expressway separates it fromWater Street and theChannel District. TheGarrison Channel separates downtown and Water Street fromHarbour Island, which has a small grouping of high-rises on its northern half, four of which are taller than 200 ft (61 m). Southwest of downtown, the waterfront road ofBayshore Boulevard features residential towers alongside its path.
