SPR Highliving District Towers - Tallest Building in Chennai - As of January 2022

This list of tallest buildings in Chennai ranks high-rise and skyscraper buildings in

are some of the various prominent highrises in the city.

Despite being a port city and a major commercial center, Chennai does not have any supertall skyscrapers like other major cities in India due to the presence of weather radar placed in the city by the Indian government.

Background

LIC Building, the first high rise of Chennai and the tallest in India when opened in 1959

Unlike other metropolitan cities in the country, Chennai continues to experience a horizontal growth (that is, expanding continuously in its area) rather than a vertical growth by means of building more skyscrapers, owing to the presence of

Egattur, Perumbakkam, and the East Coast Road.[7] According to realty portal Commonfloor.com, as of 2014, there were 96 high-rises (buildings with 10 or more storeys) and 148 buildings under construction or planned.[7]

As of 2020, SPR city Highliving Tower H remains the tallest building in Chennai with a maximum height of 172.5 metres (566 ft) and 45 floors.[9] Many more high-rises are already under construction in the city and dozens are proposed. However, the height of the buildings in the central business district has seldom gone beyond 20 floors. Almost 500[10] high-rises have already constructed in the city. Majority of the high-rises are residential.[11][12][13]
