List of megatall skyscrapers
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
This is a list of all megatall skyscrapers, which are skyscrapers that are at least 600m tall.[1] As of April 2024, only four completed buildings are 'megatall' and one is currently under construction, Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, [2] though dozens have been proposed. All of the buildings on this list have well over 100 floors.
