List of supertall skyscrapers
Buildings higher than 300m tall
A supertall building, or simply a supertall, is a skyscraper exceeding 300 meters in height. It is taller than the common definition of "skyscraper" of at least 150 meters in height, but shorter than a "megatall" building of at least 600 meters in height.[1] As of 2024, there are currently 235 completed supertall buildings in the world.
China is the country with the most supertall buildings at 109 entries, followed by the United Arab Emirates and the United States with 35 and 31 supertall buildings respectively. The city with the most supertall buildings is Dubai at 31 entries, followed by Shenzhen and New York City with 20 and 17 supertall buildings respectively.
As of 2024, there are 68 cities across the world with at least one supertall building.
Different organizations from the United States and Europe define skyscrapers generally as buildings at least 150m in height or taller.[2][3][4][5]
The first supertall skyscraper to be completed was the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1930, which was 319 meters (1,047 feet) tall. This was followed a year later by the Empire State Building, which rose to a height of 381 meters (1,250 feet). No supertall buildings would be constructed for 38 years until the completion of the John Hancock Center in Chicago in 1969. The John Hancock Center was the first supertall to be built outside of New York City. Supertalls remained the purview of New York City and Chicago until the completion of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston.
The Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong was the first supertall skyscraper to be built outside of the United States in 1990. This preceded a rise in the construction of supertall skyscrapers internationally, which accelerated in the 2010s.

This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. This list does not include topped out buildings that have not been fully completed.
This list skips the four tallest buildings in the world: the Burj Khalifa, Merdeka 118, Shanghai Tower, and The Clock Towers, which are over 600 meters and classified as "megatall".
This list includes skyscrapers under construction that are planned to be between 300 and 600 meters (984 and 1,968 feet) tall. based on standard height measurements. The "year" column indicates the expected year of completion. This list does not include buildings whose construction has been suspended indefinitely, which are listed in the "On Hold" table below.[11]

Skyscraper: A tall, multi-storey building. Skyscrapers are different from towers or masts because they are habitable. The term was first applied during the late-nineteenth century, as the public marvelled at the elevated, steel-frame buildings being erected in Chicago and New York, USA. Modern skyscrapers tend to be constructed from reinforced concrete. As a general rule, a building must be at least 150 metres high to qualify as a skyscraper.
- Data Standards: skyscraper (ESN 24419), Emporis Standards, accessed on line July 2020. "A skyscraper is defined on Emporis as a multi-story building whose architectural height is at least 100 meters. This definition falls midway between many common definitions worldwide, and is intended as a metric compromise which can be applied across the board worldwide"
