Portland, the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon, is the site of 73 completed high-rises with a height of 200 feet (61 m) or greater as of 2026, four of which stand taller than 492 feet (150 m).[1][2] The tallest building in Portland is the Wells Fargo Center, a 40-story office skyscraper that rises 546 ft (166 m) in Downtown Portland and was completed in 1972.[3] The second tallest skyscraper in the city is the U.S. Bancorp Tower, which rises 536 feet (163 m) and was built in 1983.[4] Portland is home to most of the tallest buildings in Oregon. Ranked by the number of buildings taller than 492 ft (150 m), Portland has the second largest skyline in the Northwestern United States, after Seattle, which has 22.

The history of skyscrapers in Portland is thought to have begun with the construction of the 12-story, 182 ft (55 m) Wells Fargo Building in 1907, regarded as Portland's first high-rise.[5][6] However, The Oregonian Building remained the city's tallest building due to its 194 ft (59 m) clock tower until 1913, upon the construction of the 207 ft (61 m) American Bank Building. Portland's skyline grew modestly in the early 20th century, mainly around Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown, such as with the Italianate style Public Service Building in 1927 and the Meier & Frank Building in 1932. The Commonwealth Building, completed in 1948, is considered one of the earliest modernist buildings.[7][8] From the 1960s to 1980s, a major building boom took place in Portland,[9] which saw the expansion of the downtown skyline, including the completion of the city's three tallest buildings. Following the opening of the Lloyd Center mall in 1960, several office high-rises were constructed in the surrounding Lloyd District.[10]

The pace of high-rise construction declined between the mid-1980s and late 1990s. Portland's skyline has continued to grow in the early 21st century, with an increased share of residential and mixed-use developments. Park Avenue West, completed in 2016 at a height of 502 ft (153 ft), is the city's fourth tallest skyscraper. Block 216, Portland's fifth-tallest building, was completed in 2023. The Pearl District witnessed a construction boom during this period, with residential high-rises such as Cosmopolitan on the Park.[11][12] South Waterfront, the city's largest urban redevelopment project,[13] was built in phases beginning in 2004. The district has over ten high-rises, two of which are part of the OHSU Center for Health & Healing.[14]

Portland's high-rises can be found on both sides of the Willamette River, which flows through the city. The city's tallest skyscrapers are concentrated in Downtown Portland, which is bounded by Interstate 405 to the west and the Willamette River to the east. The Pearl District is immediately north of downtown, with its tallest buildings on the area's northernmost end. South Waterfront is south of downtown, directly south of the Ross Island Bridge, and has ten buildings taller than 200 ft (61 m). East of the river and northeast of downtown is the Lloyd District, which has five buildings taller than that height. A general height limits the heights of most developments in Portland to below 460 ft (140 m),[15][16] with lower height restrictions in the Old Town and Pearl District neighborhoods.[17][18][19][20] Portland's skyline can be viewed alongside Mount Hood from the elevated West Hills, including from Pittock Mansion.[21][22]
