List of tallest buildings in Metro Cebu explained

Metro Cebu is the second-largest metropolitan area in the Philippines, and hosts a large number of high-rise buildings. As a result of the economic boom that Cebu experienced in the 1990s and 2000s (known as Ceboom), many high-rise buildings have been constructed in Cebu City and its surrounding metropolitan area. Cebu Business Park (the city's central business district), Cebu I.T. Park, the urban fringes surrounding those areas, the area around Fuente Osmeña (commonly referred to as "Midtown Cebu") and South Road Properties (a mixed-use development on reclaimed land along Cebu South Coastal Road), are the locations of most of the skyscraper development in Metro Cebu.

Horizons 101 (Tower 1), finished in 2015, is the tallest building in Metro Cebu the tallest in the Philippines outside Metro Manila.

, Metro Cebu has 22 completed buildings that are taller than 100m (300feet), with four (4) finished in 2019, about ten (10) scheduled to be finished in 2020, and a total of more than 40 buildings under construction or proposed.
