This list of tallest buildings in Charlotte ranks skyscrapers and high-rises in the U.S. city of Charlotte, North Carolina by height. The tallest building in the city is the Bank of America Corporate Center, which rises 871 feet (265 m) in Uptown Charlotte and was completed in 1992.[1] It also stands as the tallest building in the state of North Carolina and the 25th-tallest building in the United States. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the Duke Energy Center, which rises 786 feet (240 m) and was topped out in early 2009, and completed in 2010[2] The Vue, also completed in 2010, is Charlotte's third tallest building.[3] The Hearst Tower, which rises 659 feet (201 m), is the fourth tallest building in the city and the state.[4] Eight of the ten tallest buildings in North Carolina are located in Charlotte.

The history of skyscrapers in the city began with the construction of the Independence Building in 1895; this building, rising 186 feet (57 m) and 14 floors,[5] is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Charlotte and North Carolina.[6] A former Registered Historic Place, the Independence Building was demolished in 1981 to allow for the construction of 101 Independence Center.[5] Charlotte went through a small building boom in the early 1970s, and then experienced a much larger boom lasting from 1982 to the present. During this time 15 of the city's 22 tallest buildings were constructed, including the Bank of America Corporate Center and the Hearst Tower. Overall, Charlotte's skyline is ranked (based on existing and under construction buildings over 500 feet (152 m) tall) third in the Southeast (after Miami and Atlanta), fifth in the Southern United States (after Miami, Houston, Dallas and Atlanta), and 18th in the United States.[A] As of April 2008, there are 64 completed high-rises in the city.[7]

Unlike many other American cities, Charlotte's skyscraper construction boom has continued through the 1990s to the present, with 8 of its tallest buildings being completed within the last 10 years. Buildings under construction and approved for construction in the city are 1 Bank of America Center and 210 Trade, the latter will contain approximately 50 floors. Upon its completion, 210 Trade would stand as the tallest all-residential building in the city and the state. However, construction on this building is on-hold because of developing disputes and financial problems.[8] As of April 2008, there are 42 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in Charlotte.[7]
