The tallest building in Atlanta is the 55-story Bank of America Plaza, which rises and was completed in 1992. Upon its completion Bank of America Plaza was the tallest building in the United States outside New York City and Chicago, and the 8th-tallest building in the U.S. overall. The second-tallest building in Atlanta is Truist Plaza, which rises .

The history of skyscrapers in Atlanta began with the completion in 1892 of the Equitable Building. The city later went through a major building boom, which began in the 1980s and continued until the mid 1990s; most of the city's skyscrapers, including its four tallest, have all been completed since 1985.

History

The Equitable Building, completed in 1892, is generally regarded as the first high-rise in the city. Atlanta went through a major building boom from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, during which the city saw the completion of 13 of its 40 tallest buildings, including the Bank of America Plaza, SunTrust Plaza, One Atlantic Center, and 191 Peachtree Tower. Atlanta entered another high-rise construction boom in the early 2000s. The city has since seen the completion of 17 buildings that rise over in height, including 3344 Peachtree, the tallest structure in Buckhead at ; it was topped out in October 2007 and completed in 2008.

Several of the downtown buildings were damaged in a major tornado in March 2008, scattering glass from several hundred feet. It took workers several days to clean the buildings and remove all of the loose shards of glass from the skyscrapers. No structural damage was reported, and by late 2010 each skyscraper had all of its windows replaced. Window blinds and other office objects from the tall buildings were found as far away as Oakland Cemetery.
