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 Chennai, India based on official height. ^[1] LIC Building in the city was the tallest high-rise in India when it was inaugurated in 1959. Since the 2010s, Chennai is witnessing a huge high-rise boom with many high-rises being built in different parts of the city. SPR City Highliving District at Perumbur is the tallest building in the city with a height of 172 metres (561 ft) and 45 floors. The World Trade Center at Perungudi, the Houses of Hiranandani in Egattur, the TCS Signature Towers at Siruseri, the TVH Ouranya Bay at Padur, the LIC Building at Mount Road, Hyatt Regency Chennai at Teynampet and Arihant Majestic Towers at Koyambedu are some of the various prominent high-rises 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 weather radar at the Chennai Port, which prohibits construction of taller buildings beyond its permissible limits. ^[2] The maximum permissible building height in Chennai was limited to 40 m until 1998, when it was increased to 60 m. ^{[3] [4] [5]} This restriction continued until the second master plan of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority was rolled out in 2008, after which the restriction was lifted, allowing buildings taller than 60 meters to be built. ^{[6] [7]} Until then, the LIC Building on Anna Salai, with 15 floors, dominated the city's skyline for almost four decades. Even the next tallest building, a 10-storied residential tower of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) at Nandanam, was not built until almost a decade later in 1968. ^[8] However, after the big companies started building tall concrete structures in the city in the first and second decades of the twenty-first century, the skyline started changing, especially along the periphery, ^[9] and more so in south Chennai along the Old Mahabalipuram Road, 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. ^[10] 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 high-rises have already been constructed in the city, ^[11] of which the majority are residential. ^{[12] [13] [14]}
