List of tallest buildings in Honolulu facts for kids

Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, is a U.S. city. As of late 2020, Honolulu had 92 high-rise buildings over 300 feet (91 meters) in height, with four more under construction.

The first high-rise that exceeded 350 ft was the Ala Moana Hotel built in 1970. The next high-rise was the Yacht Harbor Towers followed by the Hawaii Monarch Hotel and the Discovery Bay Center. This was the beginning of the construction boom in the city. At the same time business and finance also boomed. During the 1990s new residentials were built, including One Waterfront Mauka Tower, Imperial Plaza, Nauru Tower, and the Hawaiki Tower.
