List of megatall skyscrapers

This is a list of all megatall skyscrapers, which are skyscrapers that are at least 600 m (approximately 1,968 feet) tall.[1] As of December 2024, only four completed buildings are 'megatall'. Although dozen of such buildings have been proposed, currently only two are under construction, Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia and the Burj Azizi in United Arab Emirates. Both towers will surpass 1000m in height when completed. [2] All of the buildings on this list have well over 100 floors.
