List of tallest buildings in Atlanta
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]
