Prior to the 2010s, Ankara had no buildings taller than 150 meters. The Sheraton Ankara, a hotel and convention centre, was one of the first notable tall buildings to be built in the city, in 1991. However, it did not reach a height of 150 meters; the first building to do so was the Portakal Cicegi Tower, which was completed in 2011. The decade saw a major boom in the construction of high-rises and skyscrapers in Ankara, similar to the Turkish cities of Istanbul and Izmir; all 7 of Ankara's skyscrapers were built after 2010.

Most of Ankara's skyscrapers are located in Söğütözü, Ankara's business district.
