List of tallest buildings in Miami

The U.S. city of Miami, Florida has the third tallest skyline in the US with over 300 high-rises, 70 of which stand taller than 400 feet (120 m), mainly according to Emporis,SkyscraperPage, and The Skyscraper Center, which is the online database of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. The tallest building in the city is the 64-story Four Seasons Hotel Miami, which rises 789 feet (240 m) in Miami's Brickell district and was completed in 2003. It also stands as the tallest building in the state of Florida. Eight of the ten tallest buildings in Florida are located in Miami.

Miami's history of high-rises began with the 1912 completion of the six–story Burdine's Department Store, although the Freedom Tower, built in 1925, is Miami's best-known early skyscraper and remains an icon of the city. From the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, Miami went through the largest building boom in the city's history. In what was dubbed a "Manhattanization wave", there were nearly 60 structures proposed, approved or under construction in the city that were planned to rise over 492 feet (150 m) in height. As a result of the construction boom, only two of the city's 25 tallest buildings were completed before the year 2000, and the city has one of largest skylines in the United States, generally ranking only behind New York City and Chicago. The boom, however, ended abruptly around 2008 when the real estate market crashed and the late-2000s recession began. By 2011 the market began to return, with new office and condominium projects such as Brickell House announced for construction beginning in 2012. This was followed by a second boom that is currently active As of January 2015^[update]. This second boom has more proposed towers for the region than were built in the first boom from 2003 to 2010. Only 10 buildings out of 75 on the list were built before 2000, and only 18 were built before 2005.
