Worlds Tallest Buildings List v.2.0.0
100 Database Records
Explore the 100 tallest completed buildings in the world in one clean, analysis-ready release. Each ranked record includes the building name, city, completed status, completion year, height to architectural top in meters and feet, floor count when published, structural material, building function, and a direct source profile. The release intentionally excludes topped-out, proposed, under-construction, canceled, demolished, and other non-completed projects so the ranking answers a precise question instead of mixing future towers with buildings people can use today.
