This is a list of the tallest buildings in the city of Yangon. The list includes skyscrapers and high-rise building standing at or above 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. As of today, the city does not have a single skyscraper exceeding in height as defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and will not have one as long as the current zoning regulations, which cap the maximum height at above sea level, (75% of the Shwedagon Pagoda's sea level height) remain in place. The regulations came into effect after a proposal to build a tower in downtown Yangon was defeated by local conservationists in 2014.
The following list ranks completed buildings in Yangon that stand about 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 accurateâÂÂin terms of inclusion and rankings. (Emporis estimates the height of buildings based on the number of floors; as a result, buildings with the same number of floorsâÂÂregardless of the type (office or residential)âÂÂare estimated at the same height.) The estimated heights are given in italics.
The list below covers the buildings under construction that will be or taller. The height estimates are by Emporis unless otherwise stated. The estimated heights are given in italics.
As many exact heights are unknown, the timeline below may be incomplete. Estimated heights are given in italics.
