List of tallest buildings in Bellevue, Washington
The United States city of Bellevue, Washington, has at least 45 high-rise buildings, with 6 standing taller than 328 feet (100 m) in height, as of July 2015. Currently, the tallest completed buildings in Bellevue are the 42-story Lincoln Tower One and the 43-story Bellevue Towers Two; both stand 450 feet (137 m) above ground level. However, Lincoln Tower One has the distinction of being the first skyscraper to reach the city's 450-foot (137 m) height limit upon completion in 2005.
Bellevue's history of skyscrapers began with the completion of the Paccar Tower in 1970; this structure is regarded as the city's first high-rise. High-rise building construction remained slow until 1982, when the city's first skyscraper building boom took shape. Eight of the city's 24 tallest buildings were completed within the next seven years, including City Center Bellevue, which was the tallest building in Bellevue for almost two decades. The skyscraper construction boom ended in 1989, and subsequently only one high-rise which ranked among the city's tallest structures was completed in the 1990s. Beginning in 2000, Bellevue entered into a second, much larger building boom that continued to 2010. More than half of Bellevue's twenty tallest buildings were completed after 2000; nine projects were completed in 2008 alone, including Bellevue Towers. Overall, Bellevue's skyline is ranked third in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, after Seattle and Portland.
With the groundbreaking of the SoMa Towers project in 2012, the city entered another era of building construction. The largest of the recent developments under construction are the W Bellevue Hotel (500 Lincoln Square) and 400 Lincoln Square; both of these buildings constitute the southward expansion of Lincoln Square and stand approximately 450 feet (137 m) tall. Buildings exceeding the current 450 foot (137 m) height limit have been proposed and the city is considering raising height limits to 600 feet (183 m) to permit taller skyscrapers in the Downtown core. As of 2015, there are 24 additional buildings under construction and planned for construction in Bellevue.
