List of tallest buildings in Indianapolis

Indianapolis is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Indiana, with a metropolitan area of 2.1 million residents. As of 2026, the city has 36 buildings taller than 200 feet, 13 of which have a height greater than 300 feet. Indianapolis has the largest skyline in Indiana, and most of the state's tallest buildings, including its only three skyscrapers taller than 492 ft. The tallest building in Indianapolis is the 49-story Salesforce Tower, which rises and was completed in 1990. The city's second tallest building is the OneAmerica Tower, which was previously the tallest building from 1982 until 1990.
The history of skyscrapers in Indianapolis began with the completion in 1895 of the Thomas Building, regarded as the first high-rise in the city. Before it was demolished, this 13-story structure stood at a height of. Indianapolis went through an early high-rise construction boom in the 1960s, during which time the city saw the completion of the 372 ft City-County Building. The City-County Building was the first building in the city to rise higher than the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, and was the tallest building in the city until 1970. However, the pace of new high-rise construction then slowed until 1982. In the mid-1980s, Indianapolis entered into a large building boom that lasted until 1990. During this period, five of the city's six tallest skyscrapers were built, including the Salesforce Tower , OneAmerica Tower, and the postmodernist 300 North Meridian, Market Tower, and BMO Plaza buildings, significantly reshaping the downtown skyline.
Very little high-rise development took place from 1990 until the mid-2000s. Since then, several notable buildings have been added to the skyline. The 376-ft JW Marriott Indianapolis, completed in 2011, is the tallest hotel in the city, while 360 Market Square, at 290 ft is the city's third tallest residential building. One Indiana Square, now known as Regions Tower, went through an exterior refinishing after being damaged by high winds in 2006. Other projects built after 2000 include the 287 ft Conrad Indianapolis and 260 ft Simon Property Group Headquarters, both in 2006. The 38-story, Signia by Hilton Indianapolis, currently under construction, is the tallest new building in Indianapolis in over 35 years. The building will be the city's tallest hotel and fourth-tallest building upon its expected completion in 2026.
Most of Indianapolis' high-rises are located in Downtown Indianapolis, with many of the tallest buildings situated within the Mile Square, in the center of downtown. Within the skyscrapers is Monument Circle, a circular street centered on the Soldiers & Sailors Monument. The downtown skyline is surrounded by the White River to the west, Interstate 65 to the north, and Interstate 70 to the east and south. A skywalk and tunnel system connects multiple high-rises downtown. Near the city's northern edge is the Keystone at the Crossing district, which has a small number of high-rises, the tallest being the 18-story 8888 Keystone Crossing.
