Gramercy Residences is only 250m tall

Based on this information as well as this video from Century Properties (developer of the building, the Gramercy Residences is only 250m tall and not 302m, hence it is not the tallest building in the Philippines and will move down the list to at least no. 228. Can someone please rectify the list to include such changes? GrayFullbuster (talk) 01:30, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request, August 2013

In the list, the second tallest building is entered as something in Shanghai with a completion date of 2014. I can provide almost seven witnesses to testify that this year hasnt showed up yet... The biggest and second tallest land structure ever built is the Makkah Royal Hotel Clock Tower cluster. Thus it should be second on the list.

Hi you don't have to allow me to edit if you don't want, but the second tallest building in the world is currently the Tokyo Skytree in Japan standing at 634 meters, and is a radio/tv/broadcasting tower. Peace out. Bluemagick808 (talk) 06:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Doesn't meet the second of the two criteria shown at the top of the article. Rivertorch (talk) 08:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyo Sky Tree is the tallest free standing structure in the world, its not the tallest building in the world, and also it doesn't meet the criteria of the tallest building / skyscraper.

It is correctly listed at List of tallest towers in the world. Astronaut (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Height of Damac Heights has been reduced !

The Damac Heights, a supertall skyscraper under construction in Dubai Marina, Dubai, has now been replaced by a new shorter building with a height of 335 metres tall, i saw this, when i tried to open the database of Damac Heights on CTBUH, but that was either deleted or moved:here Damac Heights , and the new page has been created by the name of Damach Residenze, here DAMAC Residenze.

But i am unable to find any other reliable source that says the tower's height has been reduced, if any one of you have such source then please share here, as we have to change the rank of tower in this article.

1WTC antenna

We do not count antennas, yet on 1WTC it's counted. Elk Salmon (talk) 13:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Buildings should be listed to "Architectural height". However, some are listed with the height to the tip of the antenna. Burj Khalifa was to the antenna (I just corrected that). 1WTC is to the architechural height 541.3 m (it is 4.9 m more to the top of the antenna). Astronaut (talk) 14:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also improved the "note to editors" to make it more obvious and to add that the list is by the architectural height. Astronaut (talk) 15:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Burj Khalifa is entirely architectural to its tip. 1WTC has huge metallic installment on the roof that is not architectural at all. Elk Salmon (talk) 19:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at each building's article: Burj Khalifa, One World Trade Center. Take a look at a reliable listing site such as the CTBUH's Skyscraper center and visit the page for each building there. They list:

Burj Khalifa Height: Architectural 828.0 meter / 2717 feet Height: Occupied 584.5 meter / 1918 feet Height: To Tip 829.8 meter / 2723 feet

One World Trade center: Height: Architectural 541.3 meter / 1776 feet Height: Occupied 382.3 meter / 1254 feet Height: To Tip 546.2 meter / 1792 feet

Burj Khalifa has a very tall metal spire above the top floor. The spire is topped by a 1.8 m tall antenna. 1WTC recently had a 125 m metal spire installed on the roof. Since the tip is listed as 4.9 m higher, I expect there is/will be a small antenna on top of the spire. I have no reason to disbelieve the reliable sources used to create the articles. The architectural height of 1WTC is not in dispute whether or not you think it is just a "huge metallic installment on the roof". Astronaut (talk) 16:34, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stratosphere

The Stratosphere Las Vegas is missing. --XXLVenom999 (talk) 20:01, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Stratosphere Las Vegas is a tower and therefore does not qualify for inclusion on this list. It is correctly listed in List of tallest towers in the world. Astronaut (talk) 12:24, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
