World’s Tallest Building: Who Holds The Title? Officially, the World’s Tallest Buildings are the Petronas Towers in The highest occupiable floor of Sears is more then 200 feet higher than the top floor in Petronas and its antennas go even higher. So why are the Petronas Towers considered the World’s Tallest Buildings? Because, in the tradition and lore of tall building, spires count, antennas don’t. Spires are architectural features and they have been traditionally counted in a building’s height, a precedent that dates to the Chrysler Building. Antennas are not normally considered architectural features. So…based on the long and storied tradition of tall buildings, the winner by decision is the Petronas Towers. |
