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 November 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.
