List of tallest buildings in Adelaide
Adelaide's tallest building, Westpac House
This list of tallest buildings in Adelaide ranks the tallest buildings in Adelaide, South Australia by height. The tallest building in Adelaide is currently the 31-storey Westpac House, which rises 132 metres (433 ft) and was completed in 1988, as of October 2013 it is Australia's 115th-tallest building. There are numerous projects either underway or planned in Adelaide, if constructed, Frome Central Tower 1 (11-27 Frome Street) would reach 134 metres (440 ft), therefore becoming the city's tallest building. Height restrictions—enforced since the 1990s—have limited the amount of skyscrapers constructed in the city although they have been eased in recent times.[1]
