Tampa's first high-rise is regarded to be the Citizens Bank Building, built in 1913 to a height of 10 stories. The Hotel Floridan was the first to surpass 200 feet (61 m) when it was completed in 1926, being 230 feet (70 m) tall. It remained as the tallest building in Tampa for four decades until 1966, with the opening of the 280-foot (85 m) Franklin Exchange Building. From the 1970s to early 1990s, Tampa underwent a high-rise construction boom that reshaped its downtown skyline, in addition to a growing number of residential towers along Bayshore Boulevard. 100 North Tampa, Bank of America Plaza, One Tampa City Center, and Truist Place—Tampa's four tallest buildings, as well as the cylindrical Rivergate Tower—were completed between 1981 and 1992.
Tampa's skyline has grown substantially in the early 21st century, with the city doubling its count of 200-foot (61 m) buildings between 2000 to 2020, from 19 to 39. A brief surge in high-rise development took place before the Great Recession, of which the tallest new building was Element, the city's tallest residential building. Another construction boom began in the second half of the 2010s. The ongoing boom has seen the skyline expand eastwards to the Channel District and the new Water Street neighborhood, development of which began in 2017. The tallest building in Water Street, the 319 foot (97 m) Tampa EDITION, was completed in 2022. Tampa's current high-rise boom is ocurring alongside a similar boom in St. Petersburg.
The majority of high-rises in Tampa are located in downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. The main downtown skyline is bounded to the west by the Hillsborough River, while the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway separates it from Water Street and the Channel District. The Garrison Channel separates downtown and Water Street from Harbour Island, which has a small grouping of high-rises on its northern half, four of which are taller than 200 ft (61 m). Southwest of downtown, the waterfront road of Bayshore Boulevard features residential towers alongside its path.
