The U.S. city of Oakland, California is the site of more than 95 high-rises, the majority of which are located in its downtown district.[1] In the city, there are 30 buildings taller than 200 feet (61 m). The tallest building is the 28-story Ordway Building, which rises 404 feet (123 m).[2]

History

The history of high-rises in Oakland began with the completion of the nine-story Bank of America Building in 1907. A nine-story section was later added to the same building.[3] It remained the tallest building in the city until 1914, when the Oakland City Hall, at 320 feet (98 m), became the tallest.[4] At the time it was built, the City Hall was the first high-rise government building in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.[5][6] The 390 feet (119 m) Kaiser Center surpassed the height of the City Hall in 1960, and was the tallest building for a decade.[7] In 1989, Ordway Building became the tallest building in the city.

As of April 2022, the tallest building currently under construction is the 36-story, 395 ft (120m) skyscraper at 1900 Broadway.[8]
