Top 10 Tallest Buildings in Africa in 2021
#TallestBuildingsInAfrica #TallestSkyScrapersInAfrica Top 10 tallest buildings in Africa. The history of skyscrapers in Africa began in 1973 with the construction of Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, which held the title of the tallest building in Africa until April 2019. Well, this video ranks the tallest buildings on the African continent by height. Initially, only a small number of major financial and commercial centers boasted large skylines, such as Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo and Cape Town. However, since the 2000s, skyscrapers have been constructed in many other African cities, including Maputo, Abuja, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Alexandria, Durban, Harare, Abidjan, Luanda and Port Louis.

Number 1: Leonardo, South Africa. Leonardo is a 227-meter-tall, 56-floor mixed use development that is being finalized in Sandton, South Africa. The skyscraper is located at 75 Maude Street, about 100 meters from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Construction of Leonardo began on November 17th 2015, and the tower topped out in April 2019 – officially becoming the tallest building in Africa. Number 2: Carlton Centre, South Africa The Carlton Centre, a 223-meter-tall skyscraper and shopping center in Johannesburg, South Africa, remained the tallest building in Africa since its completion in 1973, right until Leonardo took over in 2019. Designed by US architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Carlton Centre resembles the famous One Seneca Tower in Buffalo, New York, which was completed in the same year. With a total of 50 habitable floors, Carlton Centre was once the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere – the southern half of the Earth! Number 3: Britam Tower, Kenya Britam Tower, a 200-meter-tall office complex in Upper Hill, Nairobi, was officially opened to the public in July 2018, overtaking UAP Old Mutual Tower as the tallest building in Kenya. The 31-storey tower, whose construction started in early 2013 and ended in September 2017, boasts a very unique prismic design. At its widest, the building looks like a black pyramid with the top corner missing and from other views it becomes a more slender black prism. In 2018, Britam Tower became the first building in Africa to be feted in the Emporis Skyscrapers Award’s 19-year history after it was named the 10th best skyscraper in the world. Number 4: CBE Headquarters, Ethiopia The topping out of 198-metre Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) Tower in Addis Ababa has gifted Ethiopia its newest tallest building – ending the reign of the AU Conference Center and Office Complex. The 46-storey CBE Tower, which is under construction near the Ethiopia Hotel off Ras Desta Damtew Street, is a 150,000 square meters skyscraper that will serve as the headquarters of the state-owned bank. Early 2015, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia signed a deal with China State Construction Engineering Corporation for the construction of the building at a cost of $267 million.
