- Every state has a highest building, whether it’s an 11-story apartment building or a super tall skyscraper reaching well over 1,000 feet.
- We ranked the highest buildings in all 50 states ahead of National Skyscraper Day on September 3.
- The tallest building is 15 times larger than the smallest.
While tall buildings are concentrated in the larger cities in the US, every state has to have their own tallest building. We found the largest building in each state using data from The Skyscraper Center, a database maintained by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
