History
Early Developments (Pre–2000s) Prior to the 21st century, Hyderabad's urban development was largely horizontal, with very few structures exceeding ten storeys. Babukhan Estate, which was completed in 1987, was the first high-rise building in Hyderabad. It stood tall with 17 floors, with a mix of office spaces and retail shops. Babukhan Estate remained the tallest building in Hyderabad for the next 27 years until 2014. Over the next few decades, a few other notable high-rise buildings were constructed such as the Burgula Ramakrishna Rao Bhavan (1980s) in Khairatabad and the Swapnalok Complex (1987) in Secunderabad. However, restrictive zoning regulations coupled with low land cost and limited demand for high-density living meant that the city never had a need for tall buildings.
First Wave of High-Rises (2000s–2010s) With the turn of the century, Hyderabad began to emerge as a major hub for IT services. New localities, such as HITEC City and Cyberabad, emerged in the early 2000s and witnessed the construction of mid-rise and high-rise office spaces. During this time, large-scale commercial and luxury residential high-rise projects started to become more common. Some of the notable projects from this period include Raheja Mindspace, Lanco Hills, Malaysian Township, and Lodha Bellezza. The early 2000s also witnessed the rise in popularity of gated residential communities in emerging neighbourhoods like Madhapur, Kondapur, and Gachibowli. Hyderabad got its first skyscrapers during this period with two towers of Lodha Bellezza rising to each in 2014.
Policy Shifts and the Vertical Boom (Late 2010s–2020s) In 2014, the state of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated into two states – Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, with Hyderabad being geographically located in Telangana. The newly formed Government of Telangana relaxed floor space index (FSI) norms and provided faster approvals for new projects with the goal of spurring growth in the newly formed state. Developmental reforms such as the Telangana Building Permission Approval and Self-Certification System (TS-bPASS) coupled with an influx of real estate investments led to the announcement of several new high-rise projects. Between the late 2010s and early 2020s, Hyderabad witnessed a rapid construction boom, particularly around its IT corridor in the west. This was fuelled by an increase of foreign investment from global technology firms and a rapidly growing upper-middle-class population.
In the early 2020s, major developers like My Home Group, SAS Infra, Auro Realty, and RMZ launched large-scale residential and commercial skyscrapers in areas such as HITEC City, Kokapet, Nanakramguda, and Puppalaguda. The completion of SAS Crown in 2026 marked Hyderabad's entry into the 200m+ skyscraper league. Residential high-rise gated communities with 40–50 floors became increasingly popular. SAS iTower, with 5.2 million square feet of floor space, was completed in 2025 and became the fourth-largest office building in the world. The developments during this period, after the formation of Telangana, led to the rapid growth of Hyderabad into a city of global prominence.
Ongoing and Future Trends As of 2026, Hyderabad has the second-highest number of skyscrapers in India, behind only Mumbai, and continues to witness a robust pipeline of new high-rise projects. The city has several buildings over 50 floors under construction, which includes both office spaces and luxury residences. Infrastructure projects such as the Hyderabad Metro expansion, Outer Ring Road (ORR), and the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP) are expected to further enhance connectivity and make newer localities on the periphery of the city more accessible.
Architecturally, the city's skyline consists of a mix of concrete buildings along with glass-and-steel structures. Glass-clad exteriors tend to be more common among office buildings. Due to the tropical climate, most of the city's residential buildings avoid excessive use of glass facades to minimize the greenhouse effect. Newer projects also have an emphasis on sustainability and smart building technologies such as energy-efficient facades, rainwater harvesting, and green rooftops.
Over the next decade, Kokapet, Neopolis, and the Financial District are projected to house several of the tallest buildings in South India. The city's skyline continues to evolve rapidly, marking Hyderabad's transformation into a major urban and economic hub in South Asia.
