List of tallest buildings in Mobile

The U.S. city of Mobile, Alabama is the site of 15 high-rises, all of which stand taller than . The tallest building in the city is the 35-story RSA Battle House Tower, completed in 2007, which is tall. The tower is also the tallest building in the U.S. state of Alabama and the 62nd tallest in the United States. Mobile's second-tallest skyscraper, the RSA–BankTrust Building, rises and stood as the tallest structure in the city for over forty years. Overall, four of the ten tallest buildings in Alabama are located in Mobile. The city has more skyscrapers than any other city in Alabama besides Birmingham. 
The history of high-rises in Mobile began with the completion of the 11-story Van Antwerp Building in 1907. The structure, often regarded as the first skyscraper in the city and the state, stood as the tallest building in the city until 1929, when the Regions Bank Building took its place. Upon its completion in 1965, the RSA–BankTrust Building surpassed the height of the Regions Bank Building and became the tallest building in Alabama. It held this title until 1986, when the SouthTrust Tower was completed in Birmingham, but remained the tallest building in Mobile until the 2006 topping out of the RSA Battle House Tower. 
As of August 2009, there are no high-rises under construction or proposed for construction in Mobile. A residential condominium project, Water Street Landing, was originally proposed in 2007 as a three-tower complex to be constructed on the Mobile River; the $45 million (USD) development was later canceled due to lack of funding. While the city of Mobile itself is not the location of any new high-rise developments, Orange Beach, a satellite city in the Mobile–Daphne–Fairhope combined statistical area, is the site of several construction proposals. One such proposal is the Mandalay Beach development, which includes two-twin residential towers that are planned to rise and 36 stories each.
