This list of tallest buildings in Chicago ranks skyscrapers in the U.S. city of Chicago, Illinois by height. The tallest building in Chicago is the 108-story Sears Tower, which rises 1,451 feet (442 m) in the Chicago Loop and was completed in 1974.[1] It also stands as the tallest building in the United States, and the 5th-tallest building in the world. In addition, the Sears Tower has the most floors of any completed building in the world, and stands as the world's tallest completed skyscraper when measuring to pinnacle height, rising 1,730 feet (527 m) with the addition of its western antenna. The second- and third-tallest buildings in Chicago are the Aon Center and the John Hancock Center, respectively. The John Hancock Center, with 48 floors of condominiums from the 45th floor to the 92nd floor, currently holds the world record for the highest residence. In addition, Chicago has the distinction of being the only city in the world with more than one completed building containing at least 100 floors.[A]

The history of skyscrapers in Chicago began with the 1885 completion of the Home Insurance Building, which is often regarded as the first steel–framed skyscraper in the world. The building was originally constructed with a height of 138 feet (42 m) and 10 stories, and was expanded to a height of 180 feet (55 m) and 12 stories before being demolished in 1931. Chicago went through a very early high-rise construction boom that lasted from the early 1920s to the mid-1930s, during which time 11 of the city's 91 tallest were constructed. The city then went through an even larger building boom that has lasted from the early 1960s until the present. The high-rises that have been constructed are mostly concentrated in the Loop and along the Magnificent Mile in Chicago's Near North Side community area. During this time, the city saw the completion of 79 buildings rising at least 500 feet (152 m) in height, including the Sears Tower, the Aon Center and the John Hancock Tower. Chicago is the site of 91 completed buildings that stand at least 500 feet (152 m) in height, with 16 more under construction. Approximately, 20 additional such buildings are proposed or approved. Overall, the skyline of Chicago is ranked (based on existing and under-construction buildings over 500 feet (152 m) tall) first in the Midwestern United States and second in the United States, after New York City.[B]

Historically, Chicago has played a prominent role in the skyscraper. The Masonic Temple Building was the tallest building in the world using the unconventional definition that excludes the New York World Building's ornamental lantern.[2] Past buildings have been considered the Tallest building in the United States and the tallest buildings in the world, including the Chicago Board of Trade Building, which in both of its incarnations held the title as Chicago's tallest building. Chicago currently has three buildings under construction that are planned to exceed 1,000 feet (304.8 m): the 2,000-foot (609.6 m) Chicago Spire, Trump International Hotel & Tower (Chicago), and Waterview Tower. As of June 2008 there are 160 high-rise buildings under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in Chicago.[3]

This list ranks Chicago skyscrapers based on their pinnacle height, which includes radio masts and antennas. As architectural features and spires can be regarded as subjective, some skyscraper enthusiasts prefer this method of measurement. Standard architectural height measurement, which excludes antennas in building height, is included for comparative purposes.
