caption_attribution_description: Vue aérienne d'Abidjan, quartier Plateau (Côte d'Ivoire)
context_page_description: Abidjan is the largest city in Ivory Coast. In Abidjan, there are 10 buildings that stand taller than 85 m. The tallest building in the city is the 30-storey, 120 m La Cité Administrative Tour D. The second-tallest building in the city is the Tour Postel 2001, standing at 106 m tall with 26 storeys.
  Abidjan's history of skyscrapers began with the Ivoire InterContinental Abidjan Hotel Tower I, La Pyramide Building, and Immeuble SCIAM in 1975. Buildings in the city remained relatively short in the city until the late 1960s when the city experienced its first skyscraper boom. From 1969 to 1977, Abidjan witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction. Many of the city's office towers were completed during this period, such as the Immeuble SIB. A near short lull in building construction came after this expansion, with a second, larger boom starting in 1982. Though this expansion was much shorter, lasting only two years, most of the city's iconic buildings were constructed during this time, including La Cité Administrative Tour D, the city's tallest building.
  As of 2011, Abidjan had 19 completed high-rise buildings, with none under construction or proposed.
