The tallest building in Baltimore is the 40-story Legg Mason Building, which rises Convert|529|ft|m|0|lk=on and was completed in 1973.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=leggmasonbuilding-baltimore-md-usa|title=Legg Mason Building|accessdate=2008-06-20|publisher=Emporis.com] It also stands as the tallest building in the state of Maryland and the tallest building on the East Coast between Philadelphia and Charlotte. The second-tallest building in the city and the state is the Bank of America Building, which is convert|509|ft|m|0 high.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=bankofamericabuilding-baltimore-md-usa|title=Bank of America Building|accessdate=2008-05-15 |publisher=Emporis.com]

The history of skyscrapers in Baltimore began with the completion in 1893 of the Fidelity Building, which is regarded as the first high-rise in the city.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=fidelitybuilding-baltimore-md-usa|title=Fidelity Building|accessdate=2008-06-20|publisher=Emporis.com] The building originally rose eight floors, but an additional seven stories were constructed between 1912 and 1915, bringing the structure's total height to convert|220|ft|m|0. Baltimore went through an early high-rise construction boom from the 1910s to the late 1920s, during which time the Bank of America Building was constructed. The city then experienced a major building boom from the early 1960s to the early 1990s, during which the city saw the completion of 18 of its 23 tallest buildings, including the Legg Mason Building and the Baltimore World Trade Center. The city is the site of two completed buildings that are at least convert|500|ft|m|0 high, with one more under construction and two proposed for construction. As of June 2008, there are 163 completed high-rises in the city.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/bu/sk/?id=101042|title=High-rise Buildings of Baltimore|accessdate=2008-06-24|publisher=Emporis.com]

The most recently completed skyscraper in Baltimore is 414 Water Street, which rises convert|344|ft|m|0 and 33 floors.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=414waterstreet-baltimore-md-usa|title=414 Water Street|accessdate=2008-06-20|publisher=Emporis.com] As of June 2008, there are three skyscrapers under construction in the city, with two more proposed for construction. The tallest building under construction in Baltimore is the Four Seasons Baltimore and Residences, which is expected to rise 44 stories and convert|495|ft|m|0.cite web|url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=4seasonsbaltimore-baltimore-md-usa|title=Four Seasons Baltimore and Residences|publisher=Emporis.com|accessdate=2008-06-20] Upon completion, it would be the third-tallest building in Batimore. The two largest developments taking place in the city are the Westport Redevelopment Tower and 10 Inner Harbor; both are proposed for construction. The Westport Redevelopment Tower is expected to rise 65 stories,cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=76408|title=Westport Redevelopment Building|publisher=Skyscraperpage.com|accessdate=2008-06-20] while 10 Inner Harbor is expected to rise to a height of convert|771|ft|m|0 and 59 stories.cite web|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=46189|title=10 Inner Harbor|publisher=Skyscraperpage.com|accessdate=2008-06-20] Both towers would be taller than the Legg Mason Building, and would thus become the two tallest structures in the city. As of June 2008, there are 27 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in Baltimore.
