Detroit is home to 39 buildings taller than 300 feet (91 m), nine of which are skyscrapers with a height of 492 ft (150 m) or more. Detroit has one of the largest skylines in the Midwestern United States, with the third most skyscrapers above 492 ft (150 m) in the region, after Chicago and Minneapolis. The tallest skyscraper in Detroit is the 70-story Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, which rises 727 ft (221.5 m) along the Detroit International Riverfront in the city's downtown.[A] The skyscraper is one of seven towers in the Renaissance Center complex, which has served as the headquarters of General Motors since 1996, reflecting the city's role in the automotive industry. The Detroit Marriott is the tallest building in Michigan and was the tallest hotel building in the world upon completion in 1977; it is currently the third tallest in the Western Hemisphere.Detroit's history of skyscrapers began in 1889, with completion of the historic 10-story Hammond Building—considered the city's first steel-framed skyscraper. Detroit grew to become the fourth-largest city in the United States by the 1920s, and witnessed a massive building boom during the Roaring Twenties. Many ornate skyscrapers were build during this period, including the Penobscot, Guardian, Fisher, Buhl, and David Stott buildings. This resulted in Detroit having one of the world's largest skylines at the time outside of New York City and Chicago. By 1930, the city had thirteen 300-foot buildings. The Great Depression brought an end to the boom.Deindustrialization and suburbanization affected the growth of Detroit's skyline in the second half of the 20th century, as the city's population peaked in the 1950 census and subsequently declined. Despite this, a further 21 buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m) were completed from 1960 to 1991. This included the postmodern Ally Detroit Center, Detroit's third-tallest building, and the Renaissance Center (RenCen), which was developed as an urban renewal project aimed to address the city's decline. Downtown Detroit has been undergoing revitalization in the 21st century, bringing with it several significant restoration projects of old high-rises and several new ones. Hudson's Detroit, the city's second tallest building at 680 feet (207 m), was completed in 2025.Most of Detroit's tall buildings are located in the city's downtown, immediately north of the Detroit River, which separates Detroit from the downtown of the city of Windsor, Canada. The Detroit–Windsor transborder agglomeration is one of few locations where high-rises in two countries are visible together. Going northwards from downtown along Woodward Avenue, shorter high-rises are scattered in the neighborhoods of Midtown, Medical Center, and New Center. The Fisher Building in New Center is Detroit's 12th tallest building. Residential towers are also sparsely found near the riverfront, east of downtown. In Metro Detroit, the city of Southfield contains a small high-rise cluster in Southfield Town Center, with a small number of towers in Pontiac and Troy. Ford and Chrysler, the rest of the Big Three automobile manufacturers, are headquartered in high-rises in the cities of Dearborn and Auburn Hills, respectively.Number of buildingsYear01020304019001920194019601980200020202040Buildings taller than 300 ft (91 m)Buildings taller than 328 ft (100 m)Buildings taller than 492 ft (150 m)Growth of skyscrapers in DetroitNumber of buildings by height in Detroit by the end of each year, based on the information in this article.

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 considered the Hammond Building, completed in 1889. 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.NameImageStreet addressYears as tallestHeight ft (m)FloorsReferenceFirst Michigan State Capitol[C]Capitol Park 1828–1866 140 (43) 2Most Holy Trinity Church1050 Porter Street 1866–1871 170 (52) 1Former Detroit City Hall[D][E]Campus Martius Park 1871–1877 200 (61) 4St. Joseph Church[E]1828 Jay Street 1873–1877 200 (61) 1Fort Street Presbyterian Church631 West Fort Street 1877–1909 265 (81) 1Ford Building615 Griswold Street 1909–1913 275 (84) 19Chrysler House719 Griswold Street 1913–1924 324 (99) 23Book Cadillac Hotel[F]220 Michigan Avenue 1924–1925 349 (106) 29Buhl Building535 Griswold Street 1925–1926 366 (112) 29Book Tower1265 Washington Boulevard 1926–1928 475 (145) 38Penobscot Building633 Griswold Street 1928–1977 565 (172) 47Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center1 Renaissance Center Drive 1977–present 727 (222) 70[A]A. ^ a b c General Motors, the owner of the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center, maintains that the building has 73 floors.
