Where these heights come from

Each height runs to the building’s architectural top: a spire counts, an antenna does not. Only finished buildings and those already topped out are listed; a topped-out building has reached its full height but is still being fitted out. Where a building has its own page on Heightvs, the height is that page’s reading, with its source.

Source: Wikipedia, List of tallest buildings by country, checked on October 18, 2026.

Heightvs does not list buildings in countries under international sanctions: Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Syria.
