This review of Kyiv skyscrapers lists only those buildings whose height exceeds 130 meters (all readings are based on roof height, without spire or decorative superstructures). Residential buildings in Kyiv began to increase the number of floors and, accordingly, their height – it is for this reason that the lower limit of the height of skyscrapers was set at 130 meters, because this is already becoming the norm. The review of Kyiv skyscrapers will be updated as new buildings appear.
