The history of skyscrapers in the city began with the construction of Cosden Building in 1918. This building, rising 16 floors,[8] is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Tulsa.[9] Tulsa's first buildings standing more than 492 feet (150 m) tall were the BOK Tower and the First Place Tower, both completed in 1975.[4][6] As of November 1, 2019, no buildings are under construction or are planned to rise at least 197 feet (60 m).[10] Overall, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat ranks Tulsa's skyline (based on existing and under construction buildings over 492 feet (150 m) tall) 8th in the Southern United States (after Miami, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Sunny Isles Beach, Charlotte and Austin), and 22nd in the United States.[a]
