List of tallest buildings in Eindhoven

Eindhoven is the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands and the largest outside of the Randstad conurbation, with a population of around 250,000 of 2025. The tallest building in Eindhoven is Lighthouse, a 109m (358ft), 34-storey residential tower completed in 2025 in Strijp-S.Statistieken gemeente Eindhoven, AlleCijfers.nl Eindhoven is home to over a hundred high-rise structures; 14 of them stand taller than 75m (246ft), with five reaching over 100 m (328 ft) in height, the fourth-most of any Dutch city after Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague.

Tall high-rises in Eindhoven are a relatively recent phenomenon. For most of the late 20th century, the tallest multistorey building in Eindhoven was Boschdijk 525, a 15-storey office tower built in 1964. It served as the headquarters for Dutch technology company Philips until the company moved its head offices to Amsterdam in 1997. Boschdijk 525 was surpassed by De Regent, a 96m (315ft), 32-story residential tower, in 1999. With the exception of De Regent, every building taller than 75m (246ft) in Eindhoven were built after 2000. In the 2000s, both De Admirant and Porthos overtook De Regent and became the city's two tallest buildings.

In the 2020s, Eindhoven's skyline is undergoing significant growth. Tall buildings are seen as a response to a housing shortage, as the city has attracted new residents due to its tech industry. Local planning regulations were relaxed to allow towers higher than 105m (344ft) in 2019. Two residential high-rises have since surpassed De Admirant in height: Bunker Tower in 2022, and Lighthouse in 2025. The District E project is a proposed development that would see the fruition of a high-rise nearly 150m (492ft) in height, while another proposal, The Dutch Mountains, would become the tallest wooden building in the world at a height of over 130m (427ft) if built.

Most of Eindhoven's tallest buildings are located in the city centre, particularly in the Centrum area and the Strijp-S neighborhood, which was a former industrial park belonging to Philips.
