Timeline of tallest buildings

There have been several buildings in Miami that have served as the tallest building in the city. While the 19-story Congress building was the first high-rise building in the city, the Freedom Tower is generally regarded as the first skyscraper in the city, and remains an important Miami icon. In recent years, the Manhattanization of the city has led to huge amount of new development. Several buildings that are currently under construction, approved, and proposed could earn the title of tallest building in the city upon completion.
