Orlando is a major city in the U.S. state of Florida, and its metropolitan area of Greater Orlando has over 2.9 million inhabitants. As of 2025, the city has 35 high-rise buildings that are taller than 200 feet (61 m), twelve of which have a height greater than 300 feet (91 m). The tallest building in the city of Orlando is 200 South Orange, formerly and still commonly known as the SunTrust Center. Completed in 1988, the 441 feet (134m) tall building has 32 stories.[1] Orlando's skyline ranks seventh in Florida in terms of 300-foot buildings, being the largest outside of the Miami and Tampa metropolitan areas. While it has the tallest inland skyline in the state, Orlando has a relatively short skyline for its population, having the least 300-foot buildings per capita of any metropolitan area with over ten such buildings.
The city's earliest high-rises, the Metcalf Building, State Bank Building and Angebilt Building, were built in the 1920s.[2] No additional high-rises were built until the 1960s, after which more office and residential skyscrapers would be constructed downtown, and hotel towers elsewhere. The SunTrust Center has not been surpassed since its completion in 1988, and has remained the tallest building in Orlando for over 35 years. In the lead up to the Great Recession, a construction boom occurred in the 2000s, leading to residential additions downtown such as The VUE at Lake Eola and 55 West. The skyline has grown more slowly since then; after 2010, the tallest realized projects have been Society Orlando, a 28-story residential tower built in 2023, and Truist Plaza at Church Street, a mixed-use office and hotel tower.
The largest concentration of tall buildings in the city sits in Downtown Orlando, directly northwest of the intersection of Interstate 4 and Florida State Road 408. Lake Eola and its surrounding park are a major feature of the downtown cityscape, and is surrounded by high-rises on its west and south. Because of Downtown Orlando's close proximity to Orlando Executive Airport, there is a height limit of 450ft (140m) imposed there.[3] Due to the city's tourism industry, primarily the Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando theme parks, a significant share of the Orlando's high-rises, mostly hotels, are located far from downtown. This includes the city's second tallest building, the expansion to Hyatt Regency Orlando (formerly The Peabody Orlando), which is 428 ft (130 m) tall.
