===Cityscape=== {{main|List of tallest buildings in Tijuana}} [[File:Downtown Tijuana.jpg|thumb|View of [[Downtown Tijuana]]]] The city's skyscraper history is relatively recent.<ref name= SSP>{{cite web |title=Tijuana Timeline Diagram |url=http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=955&searchname=timeline |publisher=Skyscraper Source Media |access-date=5 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131211030742/http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=955&searchname=timeline |archive-date=11 December 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> Some of the first [[High-rise building|highrise]] building complexes constructed in the city were the twin towers of [[Grand Hotel Tijuana]].<ref name= SSP /> Tijuana experienced a building boom that was brought to a halt by the [[Great Recession]]. Among buildings that succumbed to the time period was the [[Trump Ocean Resort Baja Mexico]] that would have been located in Playas and reached {{convert|98|m|ft|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Trump Baja venture leaves buyers high and dry |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-mar-07-fi-trump7-story.html |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |url-status=live |first=Elliot |last=Spagat |date=6 March 2009 |access-date=22 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170303100116/http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/07/business/fi-trump7 |archive-date=3 March 2017}}</ref> Currently the tallest building, and soon to be the largest complex in footage, [[New City Residential]] reaches {{convert|102|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Overall, the city maintains 33 completed structures with other proposed and under-construction skyscrapers.<ref name= SSP /> The Tijuana skyline is the fifth largest skyline in Mexico and is located in the Zona Rio and to a smaller extent, Playas de Tijuana. In the Zona Rio the buildings are concentrated on the Tijuana River, lined parallel to the river; and on the edges of the Tijuana Country Club. In Playas the high rises are currently focused on the coast. Recent construction on high rises has begun in the aforementioned areas, as buildings such as New City Residential and Grand Hotel Tijuana have been developed and taken prominent places in the skyline as the tallest buildings. From Tijuana's skyline the [[San Diego skyline]] can also be seen, although the reverse is mostly not true on account of the high hills surrounding central Tijuana.
