Portland, the largest city in the U.S. state of Oregon, is the site of 31 completed high-rises at least, four of which stand taller than 492feet.[1] [2] [3] The tallest building in the city is the Wells Fargo Center, which rises 546feet in Downtown Portland and was completed in 1972.[4] The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the U.S. Bancorp Tower, which rises 536feet and was completed in 1983.[5] KOIN Center, completed in 1983 and rising 509feet, is the third-tallest building in Portland.[6]
Although The Oregonian Building, rising if its clock tower is included, was Portland's tallest building from 1892 until 1913,[7] the history of skyscrapers in the city is thought to have begun with the construction of the Wells Fargo Building in 1907. This building, standing and 12 floors tall, is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Portland.[8] [9] The Wells Fargo Center was Portland's first building standing more than 492feet tall. There are three buildings under construction that are planned to rise at least .[10] Overall, Portland's skyline is ranked, based on existing and under construction buildings over tall, second in the Northwestern United States (after Seattle), tied for fifth in the Pacific Coast region with San Diego (after Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Las Vegas), and 22nd in the United States.
