Nagoya is a major economic and manufacturing centre of Japan. As the home to automaking giants Toyota, Honda, and Mitsubishi Motors, the city is the prime carmaker centre in the country. Other high-tech industries are also located there. The city also has the third busiest train station in the country. The strong industry base is one of the major driving forces in continuing to build and expand large office spaces. Most skyscrapers are located in the downtown area of Meieki, close to the main train station.

The oldest skyscraper in the city is the Sumitomo Life Nagoya Building, completed in 1974. The tallest building in Nagoya is currently the 247-metre-tall (810 ft) Midland Square, which was completed in 2006 and is also the eighth tallest skyscraper in Japan. The city's second tallest building is the JR Central Office Tower, built next to the Nagoya Station; it reaches 245 metres (804 ft) and was fully opened to the public in 1999. The Mode Gakuen Spiral Towers, completed in 2008, is noteworthy for its unusual spiral architectural structure, having established itself as a recognisable landmark.

A new 212 metres (695 ft) skyscraper tentatively named Nishiki 3-Chōme Block 25 is due to be completed in 2026 as Nagoya's fifth tallest building.
