Afraid of heights? Here are some buildings to avoid! The map shows the height of the tallest building in each country, including buildings under construction that have topped out. The graph plots number of floors vs height. Because spires and other architectural features are included in the height measurements of the buildings, the height per floor statistics are upper limits for the typical height of each floor.

The tallest building by far is the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates (2717 ft or just over half a mile). Saudi Arabia, which has the second tallest building, is currently constructing the Kingdom Tower, which is projected to be at least 3281 ft tall. It plans to take over first place when construction is completed in 2019. Meanwhile, China has three buildings in construction that will exceed 2000 ft in height.
