Skyline of Atlanta at night (use cursor to identify buildings)
Atlanta, the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Georgia, is home to at least 39 skyscrapers over 400 feet (122 m) tall. Most of these are clustered around Peachtree Street in the Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead neighborhoods, with the suburban city of Sandy Springs also being the site of several skyscrapers. The tallest building in Atlanta is the 55-story Bank of America Plaza, which rises 1,023 feet (312 m) and was completed in 1992.[1] Upon its completion Bank of America Plaza was the tallest building in the United States outside New York City and Chicago, and the 8th-tallest building in the U.S. overall.[2] The second-tallest building in Atlanta is Truist Plaza, which rises 871 feet (265 m).
The history of skyscrapers in Atlanta began with the completion in 1892 of the Equitable Building.[3] The city later went through a major building boom, which began in the 1980s and continued until the mid 1990s; most of the city's skyscrapers, including its four tallest, have all been completed since 1985. Overall, as of February 2020[update], the entire city had 17 completed skyscrapers that rise at least 492 feet (150 m), more than any other city in the Southeastern United States except Miami, tenth total in the United States, and 61st in the world.[4][A] Of the 20 tallest buildings in Georgia, 18 are located in Atlanta;[7] the other two, Concourse Corporate Center V & VI are in the neighboring city of Sandy Springs.[8][9]
