List of tallest buildings in Yangon


This is a list of the tallest buildings in the city of Yangon. The list includes habitable buildings standing at or above 90 meters but excludes other tall structures such as the Shwedagon Pagoda in the city proper, or buildings elsewhere in the Yangon Region, such as those in Thanlyin.
Yangon has the vast majority of the tallest buildings in the country. Its tallest buildings are high rises, with the majority being condominiums. The city 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— and will not have one as long as the current zoning regulations, which cap the maximum height at 127 meters above sea level, remain in place. The regulations came into effect after a proposal to build a 195-meter tower in downtown Yangon was defeated by local conservationists in 2014.

Tallest buildings

The following list ranks completed buildings in Yangon that stand about 90 meters or taller based on the estimates by Emporis, unless otherwise stated. Because of its use of Emporis's estimates, the list may not be fully accurate—in terms of inclusion and rankings. The estimated heights are given in italics.
