List of tallest buildings in Chennai
This list of tallest buildings in Chennai[1] ranks high-rise buildings in Chennai, India based on official height. Unlike other metropolitan cities in the country, Chennai continues to experience a horizontal growth (that is, expanding continuously in its area) rather than a vertical growth by means of building more skyscrapers, owing to the presence of weather radar at the Chennai Port, which prohibits construction of taller buildings beyond its permissible limits.[2] The maximum permissible building height in Chennai was limited to 40 m until 1998, when it was increased to 60 m, which continues till today.[3] Until then, the LIC Building at Anna Salai, with 15 floors, dominated the city's skyline. However, after the big companies started building tall concrete structures in the city since then, the city's skyline started changing, especially along the periphery.[4] Currently, seven towers of Hiranandani Upscale Egattur are the tallest buildings in Chennai with a total height of 204 metres (669 ft). Still many more high-rises are already under construction in the city and dozens are proposed. However, the height of the buildings in the central business district have seldom gone beyond 20 floors.
