List of tallest buildings by U.S. state

The following is a list of the tallest buildings by U.S. state, including the District of Columbia.

Current tallest buildings

Upcoming/proposed tallest buildings

These future buildings, if completed, would overtake the title of the tallest building in their respective states.

Methodology

The building heights compared here are calculated from the ground level to the architectural top. Only continuous occupiable space is included. Non-freestanding structures, observational towers, and communication towers are excluded (North Dakota boasts the largest guyed mast structure in the world), as are antennae extending from the structure top. For more information, see building heights.
