List of tallest buildings in Bucharest
Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is the site of 100 completed high-rises, 6 of which stand taller than 100 meters (328 ft) and 58 of which stand taller than 60 meters (197 ft).[1] The tallest skyscraper in the city and Romania is the SkyTower, which rises 137 m (449 ft) in Sector 1.[2] The city has been the site of several construction projects that mostly consist of new office buildings, residential towers and hotel developments.
Bucharest's history of high-rises began with the 1932 completion of the 14-story Carlton Bloc.[3] The 47 m (154 ft) structure was, at the time of its completion, the tallest building in the city; it remained the tallest in Bucharest until the 53 m (174 ft). Telephone Palace was completed in 1934.[4][5] Bucharest underwent a major building boom during the communist regime which led to many systematization works.[6] During this time, the House of the Free Press became the tallest building in the city; the 104 m (341 ft) structure was also the tallest building in Romania until 2007, when the Tower Center International was completed.[2] The most recent high-rise construction project to be completed in Bucharest was the Ana Tower. The project consisted of a 25-story, 110 m (361 ft), office building.[7] The building, located on the Bulevardul Poligrafiei was completed in 2019, becoming the 3rd-tallest building in the city.
As of June 2016, there are 25 buildings under construction in Bucharest that are planned to rise over 50 m (164 ft) in height. The largest construction projects in the city are the Orhideea Towers, The Bridge and the Globalworth Campus. The Orhideea Towers is an under-construction dual tower complex comprising one 17-floor 85 m (279 ft) tall building and one 13-floor 64 m (210 ft) tall building linked together by a skybridge.[8] The project is expected to be delivered by 2017.[9] The Bridge is another large project consisting of two 10 floor office buildings located next to the Orhideea towers.[10] The largest and most important project in construction is the Globalworth Campus consisting of three office buildings, two of which have 12 floors and one 14 floors. The 105,000 m2 (1,130,211 sq ft) complex will be at completion, in 2017, the largest office building complex in Bucharest and Romania surpassing the 92,855 m2 (999,483 sq ft) Iride Business Park owned by Immofinanz.[11][12] The original project of the Globalworth Campus included a fourth 25 floor building which was not included in the development.[13]

The Turnul Colţei was the tallest structure in Bucharest from 1714 until 1888; because the bell tower was not a habitable building, it never stood as the tallest building in the city, but is included in this table for comparative purposes.

[edit]Notes
[edit]- A. ^ Because the Turnul Colţei was not a habitable building, it never held the title of tallest building in Bucharest. The tower was, however, the tallest free-standing structure in the city from 1714 until 1888. The building's clock tower was destroyed on October 14, 1802 by an earthquake.[78] In 1888, the building was demolished.[79]
- B. ^ This building was destroyed by an earthquake on November 10, 1940.[80]
