List of tallest buildings in Cleveland

Add article description


Cleveland, the second most populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio, has 142 completed high-rises,[1] 36 of which stand taller than 250 feet (76 m). The tallest building in Cleveland is the 57-story Key Tower, which rises 947 feet (289 m) on Public Square.[2] The tower has been the tallest building in Ohio since its completion, in 1991; it also was the tallest building in the United States between Chicago and New York City before the completion, in 2007, of the Comcast Center in Philadelphia.[2] The Terminal Tower, 771 feet (235 m), is the second tallest building in Cleveland and Ohio; at the time of its completion, in 1927, the building was the tallest in the world outside New York City.[3]

The history of skyscrapers in Cleveland began in 1889, with the construction of the Society for Savings Building, often called the first skyscraper in the city.[4] Cleveland went through an early building boom in the late 1920s and the early 1930s, during which several high-rise buildings, including the Terminal Tower, were constructed. The city experienced a second, much larger building boom from the early 1970s to the early 1990s, during which it saw the construction of over 15 skyscrapers, including the Key Tower and 200 Public Square. Overall, the city is the site of three of the four Ohio skyscrapers that rise at least 656 feet (200 m) in height; Cincinnati has the other. In 2020, the skyline of Cleveland was 27th in the United States and 96th in the world, ranked by buildings at least 330 feet (100 m) tall, with 18.[5]

Unlike many other big American cities, Cleveland had few skyscraper construction projects in the 2000s. Such projects increased in the 2010s. Skyscrapers completed during this time [which time?] include the Ernst & Young Tower (2013), which is 330 feet (100 m) tall,[6] and the Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel, which opened in 2016 and is 374 feet (114 m) tall.[7] The newest additions to the Cleveland skyline include the 29-story, 350-foot-tall (110 m) Beacon apartment building, on Euclid Avenue; the 34-story, 396-foot-tall (121 m) Lumen Tower, at Playhouse Square; and the 24-story, 267-foot-tall (81 m) Artisan apartment building, in the University Circle district. Notable buildings under construction are the 39-story, 616-foot-tall (188 m) Sherwin-Williams global headquarters,[8][9] and the 23-floor, 250-foot-tall (76 m) City Club Apartments downtown.[10]
