List of tallest buildings in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia skyline, prior to the construction of Comcast Center, showing (from left to right) the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, Two Liberty Place, Centre Square I and II, One Liberty Place, the Mellon Bank Center, the Philadelphia City Hall, and the Bell Atlantic Tower

This list of tallest buildings in Philadelphia ranks skyscrapers in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by height. The tallest building in the city is currently the 57-story Comcast Center, which rises 975 feet (297 meters).[1] Comcast Center is currently the 14th tallest building in the United States. It was topped out on June 18, 2007, thereby becoming the tallest building in the city and the state.[2] Another famous Philadelphia skyscraper is One Liberty Place, which is the city's 2nd-tallest building and the 17th-tallest building in the country.[3] Six of the ten tallest buildings in Pennsylvania are in Philadelphia, with the remainder being in Pittsburgh.

Philadelphia's history of tall buildings is generally thought to begin with the 1754 addition of the steeple to Christ Church, which was one of America's first high-rise structures.[4] In the early 20th century, a broke the gentleman's agreement,[5] and since then Philadelphia has seen the construction of seven skyscrapers that eclipse the City Hall in height.

Philadelphia has twice held the tallest habitable building in North America, first with Christ Church, then with City Hall. Philadelphia City Hall reigned as the world's tallest building from 1901 to 1908,[6]. It is currently the world's second-tallest masonry building, only 1.6 feet (0.49 m) shorter[7] than Mole Antonelliana in Turin[8]. Like other large American cities, Philadelphia went through a massive building boom in the 1970s and 1980s, resulting in the completion of over 20 high-rise buildings. The city is the site of 11 skyscrapers at least 500 feet (152 m) tall.

Timeline of tallest buildings

Philadelphia City Hall stood as the tallest building in the city for 86 years

Philadelphia has seen few city record-holders compared to other cities with comparable skylines. Christ Church, after being surmounted with its lofty spire in 1754, stood as its tallest building for over 100 years. Then, due to the "gentlemen's agreement" not to build higher than the top of the statue of William Penn atop City Hall,[5] that building stood as the city's tallest structure for 86 years; it also held the world record for tallest habitable building from 1901 until the 1908 completion of the Singer Building in New York City.
