List of tallest buildings in San Diego

In the 1970s, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began restricting downtown building height to maximum of 500 feet (152 m) within a 2.3-mile (3.7 km) radius of San Diego International Airport's single runway.

In 1989, with a height of 499 feet (152 m), Symphony Towers gained the title, before being passed two years later by One America Plaza.

During the 1990s, the city was compared to a "handful of tools in a scarcely stocked toolbox" and a "mouth with a lot of missing teeth".

I think the landmark is the entire Downtown.As of October 2019[update], San Diego is ranked 98th in the world and 3rd in California with its 162 high-rises.

This list ranks San Diego skyscrapers that stand at least 300 feet (91 m) tall, based on standard height measurement.
