List of tallest buildings in Detroit

Skyline of Detroit. The Renaissance Center is visible to the far right, and the flat-topped One Detroit Center is visible as the tallest structure in the center of the image

This list of tallest buildings in Detroit ranks skyscrapers in the U.S. city of Detroit, Michigan by height. The tallest building in Detroit is currently the 73-story Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, which rises 727 feet (222 meters) along Detroit's International Riverfront.[A][1] It is currently the tallest building in the state of Michigan, the 86th-tallest building in the United States, and the tallest all-hotel building in the Western Hemisphere.[1] Another famous Detroit skyscraper is One Detroit Center, also known as the Comerica Tower, which stands as the 2nd-tallest building in the city and the state.[2]

Detroit's history of skyscrapers is generally thought to begin with the 1889 completion of the 10-story Hammond Building, considered to be the city's first skyscraper.[3] Detroit went through a massive building boom in the 1920s, resulting in the construction of most of the city's skyscrapers, including the Penobscot Building. The city then saw the construction of very few high-rises until the 1970s and 1980s. Detroit is the site of seven skyscrapers at least 500 feet (152 m) in height. Overall, the skyline of Detroit is ranked (based upon existing and under construction buildings over 500 feet (152 m) tall) third in the Midwestern United States (after Chicago and Minneapolis) and seventeenth in the United States, after New York City, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Jersey City, Minneapolis and Denver.[B]

Detroit has seen very few high-rise construction projects over the past few decades. The most recently constructed skyscrapers in the city are One Detroit Center, completed in 1993, and the Greektown Casino Hotel, completed in 2009. The latter rises 348 feet (106 m) and contains 30 floors.[4] Additionally, Cadillac Centre and a new Quicken headquarters have been proposed for construction in Detroit, and the city is experiencing many restoration projects.

Tallest buildings by pinnacle height

The Guardian Building, the city's eighth-tallest building and third-tallest when measuring by pinnacle height, shown in the Detroit Financial District

This list ranks Detroit 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.

Timeline of tallest buildings

The Buhl Building, Detroit's tallest building from 1925 until 1926
Restored in 2008 as the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel; the world's tallest hotel upon completion in 1924. Detroit's tallest building from 1924 until 1925.

This lists buildings that once held the title of tallest building in Detroit. For most of Detroit's earlier years, the tallest buildings in the city were churches and government buildings with their steeples. The first skyscraper in the city is usually regarded to be the Hammond Building, completed in 1889.[3] However, since the 10-story building did not surpass the steeple of the Fort Street Presbyterian Church, it never became a city record holder. The first skyscraper to have the distinction of being Detroit's tallest building was the Ford Building, completed in 1909.[80]

Notes

A. ^ a b c General Motors, the owner of the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, maintains that the building has 73 floors.[93] Hines Interests, the property management firm for the building, gives a floor count of 74,[94] while architect Skidmore, Owings and Merrill gives a floor count of 75.[95] Emporis and other building database sites usually give the floor count as 70,[1][96] while other sources state 73 stories.[97] This table uses the floor count of 73 as stated officially by the building's owner.
B. ^ New York has 204 existing and under construction buildings over 500 ft (152 m), Chicago has 105, Miami has 37, Houston has 29, Los Angeles has 22, Dallas has 19, Atlanta has 19, San Francisco has 18, Boston has 16, Las Vegas has 12, Seattle has 12, Philadelphia has 10, Pittsburgh has 10, Jersey City has 9, Minneapolis has 9, Denver has 8, Detroit has 7. Source of Skyline ranking information: SkyscraperPage.com diagrams: New York City, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston, Las Vegas, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Jersey City, Minneapolis, Denver, Detroit.
C. ^ The capitol of Michigan was relocated to Lansing in 1847, and the original capitol building was destroyed in a fire in 1893.
D. ^ This building was destroyed in 1961.
E. ^ a b St. Joseph Church, completed in 1873, tied the height of the Detroit City Hall. The city therefore had two tallest buildings for a period of 4 years, until the Fort Street Presbyterian Church was completed in 1977.
F. ^ This building was constructed as the Book-Cadillac Hotel, but is now officially known as the Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel.
