According to the CTBUH, a supertall building is defined as a building which standing between 300 and 599 m (984 and 1,965 ft) in height.[1][2][3][4][5]
China is the country with the most supertall buildings at 109 entries, followed by the United Arab Emirates and the United States with 35 and 31 supertall buildings respectively. The city with the most supertall buildings is Dubai at 31 entries, followed by Shenzhen and New York City with 20 and 17 supertall buildings respectively.
As of 2024, there are 68 cities across the world with at least one supertall building, while 235 completed supertall buildings in the world.
The first supertall skyscraper to be completed was the Chrysler Building in New York City in 1930, which was 319 meters (1,047 feet) tall. This was followed a year later by the Empire State Building, which rose to a height of 381 meters (1,250 feet). No supertall buildings would be constructed for 38 years until the completion of the John Hancock Center in Chicago in 1969. The John Hancock Center was the first supertall to be built outside of New York City. Supertalls remained the purview of New York City and Chicago until the completion of the JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston.
The Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong was the first supertall skyscraper to be built outside of the United States in 1990. This preceded a rise in the construction of supertall skyscrapers internationally, which accelerated in the 2010s.
