The city of San Jose, California, known for its height-limited downtown skyline due to its proximity to San Jose International Airport, has over 46 high-rises, mostly in downtown.[1][2] Twenty-seven buildings stand taller than 200 feet (61 m). San Jose is the most populous city in the U.S. with no buildings over 300 feet (91 m). The next most populous city in the U.S. with no buildings over 300 feet is Fresno, California.
