List of tallest buildings in Myanmar


This is a list of the tallest buildings in Myanmar. The list includes habitable buildings standing at or above 90 meters but excludes other structures above 90 meters such as the Yeywa Dam, the Laykyun Sekkya Buddha Statue, the Shwemawdaw Pagoda, etc. For other tallest structures, see List of tallest structures in Myanmar.
All of Myanmar's tallest buildings are high rises. The country does not have a skyscraper—i.e. one at least 150 meters tall as defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and Emporis. Most of the tallest buildings are located in Yangon where zoning regulations restrict the maximum height of buildings to 127 meters above sea level, in order to prevent buildings from overtaking the Shwedagon Pagoda. The first ever attempt to build a skyscraper in the country—a 195-meter tower in downtown Yangon— faced intense opposition by local conservationists, and was cancelled in 2014.

Tallest buildings

The following list ranks completed buildings in Myanmar that stand about 90 meters or taller based on the estimates by Emporis, unless otherwise stated. Because of the Emporis estimates, the list may not be fully accurate—in terms of inclusion and rankings. Height estimates are denoted in italics.
The list may not be up-to-date.
