Perth is the fourth-largest city in Australia, with an urban population of over 2.3 million. As the capital of Western Australia and by far its largest city, Perth contains the vast majority of the high-rises in the state. The city is home to 30 high-rise buildings that reach a height of 100 m (328 ft) or greater as of 2026, five of which are taller than 150 m (492 ft). Perth has the fifth-greatest number of skyscrapers of any Australian city, after Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast. The tallest building in Perth is the 51-storey Central Park (more commonly known as the Rio Tinto building) at 261.7 m (859 ft), completed in 1992; it also stands as the tallest building in Western Australia.
The first high-rises in Perth appeared towards the 1960s, one of them being Council House in 1963. High-rise development increased markedly in the 1970s with commercial skyscrapers such as St Martins Tower, the tallest building in the city from 1978 to 1988. This continued until the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Central Park and the city's third-tallest building, 108 St Georges Terrace, was built. Following a period of slower development from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, another high-rise boom occurred with a greater share of residential and hotel buildings, alongside new commercial towers. The most notable of these is Brookfield Place, the city's second tallest building. Built in 2012 at a height of 234 m (768 ft), it serves as the headquarters of mining company BHP.
There are several ongoing projects that will further add to Perth's skyline. Elizabeth Quay is a major mixed-use development project that first broke ground in 2012. Currently topped out in Elizabeth Quay is EQ West, which, at a height of 186 m (610 ft), will be the fourth-tallest building in the city. Lot 4 EQ, in the same development, will surpass it at a height of 212 m (696 ft) when it is scheduled to be completed in 2029.
The large majority of tall buildings in Perth are situated in the city's central business district, with recent high-rise developments extending the skyline eastwards, towards East Perth. The main skyline runs northwest to southeast and is bounded by the Swan River to the south. Another high-rise cluster is being developed across the river in South Perth, where the residential tower Civic Heart was completed in 2024. There are additional new clusters on the western side of Canning Bridge and in Burswood.
