List of tallest buildings in Massachusetts, exclusive of Boston

This is a list of the 25 tallest buildings in the U.S. state of Massachusetts outside of Boston, its capital and largest city. The U.S state of Massachusetts is a New England State north of New York and shares its border with Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York.[1] The buildings listed below are monitored by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards of Massachusetts.

Of the buildings listed, the top three are Monarch Place (a 401 foot tall building in Springfield), Tower Square (a 370 foot tall building, also in Springfield), and Eastgate Tower (a 356 foot ball building in Cambridge).

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Rankings are approximate; their accuracy cannot be guaranteed on account of uncertainties in the height data and the possibility of missing items.
