This is a list of tallest buildings in Richmond, Virginia. Presently, the tallest building in Richmond is the 29-story James Monroe Building. It was the tallest building in Virginia from the time of its completion in 1981 until 2007, when the 38-story Westin Tower in Virginia Beach opened in downtown Virginia Beach. The second-tallest building in the city is Dominion Energy's headquarters at 600 Canal Place at 417 feet in height. The next three tallest skyscrapers each have 26 stories within the structure, although they vary in height: Truist Place, at 400 ft (120 m); the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, at 394 ft (119 m); and the Bank of America Center, at 331 ft (101 m).
The first high-rise in Richmond history is considered to be the 19-story First National Bank Building, which was completed in 1913. The structure stands at 262 ft (80 m) and is located on the southwest corner of Main Street and Ninth Street.
The newest high rises in Richmond include Brandt Hall, a 17-story college dorm on the Monroe Park campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, which was completed in 2005, along with the Vistas on the James, which were completed that same year. Additionally, in downtown, the 12-story MWV Building was completed in 2010. The 23-story Central National Bank Building, built in 1930, is being converted into apartments after being left abandoned for over 20 years.[1] A new 18-story office building named "Gateway Plaza", was constructed downtown for the McGuire Woods law firm and completed in December, 2015.[2] The newest building is the 20-story 600 Canal Place building, a 417-foot tower serving as Dominion Energy’s headquarters, which was completed in 2019. The former Dominion Energy tower, One James River Plaza, was initially demolished in May 2020 to make room for 700 Canal Place.[3][4] However, in April 2021, Dominion Energy announced that plans for the smaller twin tower aren't coming to fruition.[5][6]
