Tallest Skyscrapers In The World by shevymania(m): 8:36pm On Sep 19, 2014 |
The list includes the tallest 300 (completed and topped out) buildings in the world. As of 2014, eight of the last ten buildings to have held the record as 'tallest building in the world' are still found in the tallest 300, with the twin towers of the World Trade Center (tallest in 1972 and 1973) no longer standing, and the Woolworth Building not being high enough to make the list. The term "country" as used in this list encompasses the broader definition of the word, and is inclusive of states and special territories (e.g. Hong Kong). bold Denotes building that is or was once tallest in world Rank Building[A][8] City Country Height (m)[2] Height (ft) Floors Built 1 Burj Khalifa Dubai UAE 828 m 2,717 ft 163 2010 2 Shanghai Tower[9] Shanghai China 632 m 2,073 ft 121 2014[B] 3 Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel Mecca Saudi Arabia 601 m[10] 1,971 ft 120 2012 4 One World Trade Center New York City USA 541.3 m 1,776 ft 104 2014[B] 5 CTF Finance Centre Guangzhou China 530 m[11] 1,740 ft 111 2016[B] 6 Taipei 101 Taipei Taiwan 509 m[12] 1,670 ft 101 2004 7 Shanghai World Financial Center Shanghai China 492 m 1,614 ft 101 2008 8 International Commerce Centre Hong Kong Hong Kong 484 m 1,588 ft 118 2010 9 Petronas Tower 1 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 452 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 9 Petronas Tower 2 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 452 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 11 Zifeng Tower Nanjing China 450 m 1,476 ft 89 2010 12 Willis Tower (Formerly Sears Tower) Chicago USA 442 m 1,450 ft 108 1973 13 KK100 Shenzhen China 442 m 1,449 ft 100 2011 14 Guangzhou International Finance Center Guangzhou China 440 m 1,440 ft 103 2010 15 Trump International Hotel and Tower[13] Chicago USA 423 m 1,389 ft 98 2009 16 Jin Mao Tower Shanghai China 421 m 1,380 ft 88 1999 17 Princess Tower Dubai UAE 414 m 1,358 ft[14] 101 2012 18 Al Hamra Tower Kuwait City Kuwait 413 m 1,354 ft 80 2011 19 2 International Finance Centre Hong Kong Hong Kong 412 m 1,352 ft 88 2003 20 23 Marina Dubai UAE 395 m 1,296 ft 89 2012
